Your itinerary
Step 1: Departure in front of the Camboulan church
Facing the church of Camboulan, turn left. 200 meters further, at the intersection, turn right towards Saujac D127. Continue on the road. On your left is a pond and a little further on the right is a dovecote.
A few meters further at the intersection, leave the road on the right and take the path that goes off to the left: Chemin de la Côte Vieille. At the end of the path, you will arrive at a road, take the path directly opposite, the one where there is a Calvary, a cross on a block of stone.
Step 2: At the Calvary, head towards Suc de Rulhe
Take the path that climbs in front of the Calvary. The trail becomes a single track that winds through the undergrowth. Follow the markings and the main path. Exit the woods and arrive at an open area; you can see the Lot Valley and the Saut de la Mounine in the distance. Then, back in the undergrowth, follow the main path carefully to reach a relay antenna. Go around it on the left, find a wide path. Continue straight ahead. On your right is a natural camping area. When you reach the road, turn right to the hamlet of Le Cayrol.
Step 3: From Le Cayrol towards La Fontaine de Milhac
At the intersection, turn left. Continue straight on this path. On the left, a well-restored gariotte. Cross a path lined with restored low walls.
Arriving on a wide track, turn right.
At the intersection of several trails: a path on the left, a trail opposite, a trail on the right. Turn right. This will lead you to the Milhac fountain (pond, washhouse, and well).
Continue straight ahead for 800 m. At the next intersection, leave the path on the left and continue. At the road, turn right for 1 km. Return to Le Cayrol. In the center, turn left.
Step 4: Return to Camboulan from Le Cayrol
On your left is a field, and on the right is a spring topped with a stone building. The path continues to narrow and becomes a stony track that descends towards the valley.
Be careful at the intersection of two small paths; take the one that descends to the left. Beautiful views of the Saut de la Mounine and its cliffs. Path through the undergrowth. Reach a wide track running alongside orchards.
At the intersection with a Calvary, continue straight ahead. You're on the road from here. At the next intersection, turn right and head for Camboulan. Pass the castle. Arrive at the church, your starting point.
