It was a warm, sunny welcome we received at the start of the walk. 16c isn't bad for a winter's walk. We opted to enjoy the northern half of the walk as this is our favourite part of the walk, enjoying the higher ground and good views. Start the walk by parking in the free car park behind the library in the centre of the village. Heading to the mairie turn right and then right again. At the top of the hill the track bears right again and now you are out in the countryside, surrounded by vineyards. The track continues and after crossing one track, turns left at the next to reach the road. Turn right and just before the wooden fence turn left onto a track through the fields once again. Continue following this track first left and then right down a Stoney path to reach a field. Cross the field and left onto the track until you come to a small road. Turn left and walk along this road until you return to the outskirts of the village. If you want to continue the longer walk or visit the chapel of saint Fulcran, turn right. The chapel is a little further on. The second part of the walk is mostly on a lower level though vineyards. The chapel is surrounded by little benches under small pines and makes a lovely picnic spot with glorious views of the snowy Pyrenees. Now return to the village with it's fascinating history of wonderful chateau walls and beautiful old houses.
