From the parking lot, take rue du 19 mars 1962, turn right at the bottom and immediately take a path that climbs to the left. Continue along rue de la Source, then turn right to cross the D911, taking the crosswalk slightly to the right. After crossing, turn left at the crossroads and then right. Take the small Roubis road and, 80 m further on, the sunken track on the left.

About 500 m further on, leave the track and take a path to the right. Take the road on the left and then, 150 m further on, turn right at Roubis, which you have to cross. Descend into the woods, then ford the stream several times. At the farm track, turn right up this old road. At the crossroads halfway up the slope, turn left, passing Le Bosc, then Nastiès (a track almost opposite on the left) and finally Salvezines, where you turn right on a fine track to Recoules.

At the hamlet of Recoule, turn right onto the D61 and 150 m further on, turn left onto the small Thomas road. In this hamlet, turn left down the farm track and 400 m further on, turn left towards the stream. Do not cross the bridge and turn right onto the small road to Coste Peyrouse.

Before leaving the wood, take the path on the left which curves downwards. Ford the stream and climb back up to the D61. Turn right on this road and 10 m further on, right again, to reach and cross the Mas del Puech. Follow the stream to the bridge, go back up to the road, which you take on the left. At the crossroads, go back up the D61 towards Prévinquières. Cross the village and continue on the D118 towards Compolibat along the Aveyron.

Approx. 1.6 km further on, after the second bridge, turn left onto the dirt track that curves around the bend. Follow this road up to La Vernette, where you take the road below. Go straight on at the road, which becomes a footpath pointing left, to continue along a track as far as Miquels.

Go up into Miquels, leaving the church on your left, and as you leave the village, turn left onto the Route de Rhodes.

Turn right on the Place de Rhodes onto a farm track, and 300 m further on, turn right again onto the Maynobe. Follow the road to the cross.

Take the left-hand track that runs alongside the Lande de Roubis, then behind the Modulance hill, with its antennas and chapel, to reach the crossroads with the D91. Keep left on the sidewalk to cross at the crosswalk. Take the opposite street and turn left into Rue de la Source. Go straight down the Chemin de la Calquière. At the bottom of the D612, turn left onto rue du Balat and return to the parking lot.
