Your itinerary
Step 1: Departure from the Sol de la Dîme car park

From the Sol de la Dîme, go past the Porte Haute then continue around the town, on the boulevard passing the Tour Cardalhac to the war memorial. Before it and before the children's playground, turn left then immediately right to join the RD 922. Take this road on the left then cross the road at the first pedestrian crossing. Follow the yellow markings and opposite the veterinary practice take the path that turns right just after the garage.
Leave the variant on the right and continue the path on your left.
Continue on this path until the next intersection of 4 paths.
Step 2: Round trip towards the path of the caselles and towards the Chapel of Our Lady of Grace

At this intersection your path is the one on the right via variant B.
Before that, we invite you to go back and forth a few meters on your left, towards “Chemin des caselles” at 100m. Indeed, you will be able to see several superbly restored dry stone huts there.
Return to the previous intersection. Continue straight ahead on variant B “ND des Grâces 800m”. This is a wide, well-shaded path that will allow you to reach the departmental road, the D76, which you will take on your right to Notre Dâme de Grâce. Take the path that turns left just behind this oratory.
Step 3: Head towards Mas de Treille and Puech Caudié

Continue on this path which passes behind the Chapelle ND de Grâce, an oratory built in 1950.
At the next intersection, leave the wide path to turn right to Mas de Treille. When you arrive at this farmhouse, you will find a first well in front of you, then a second on your left, turn right then immediately left. You will see a third well on your left and a small pond before going back up towards the farmhouse. You will find the main circuit still marked in yellow, on the right. You are on a tarmac road. At the next intersection, turn left and follow “V1 – Villeneuve 3 km”. Do not turn right, variant C. You are heading towards Puech Caudié.
Step 4: Reach Villeneuve d'Aveyron

After passing the house whose garden entrance is a stone arch, at the first intersection, take the first path on the right that goes down towards Vercantelle. Take the road on the right for 1 m then take the first path on the left. You will find the tarmac road and houses, in the "Camp Claux" sector, then the main road, the D1. Watch out for traffic. Take it on your right for 250 m then immediately right at the first intersection. Pass in front of an old water pump and bin. The path turns left, go straight. When you reach the main road, near the old police station, take the pedestrian crossing on your left to cross and reach Villeneuve via the "Belarge" passage just opposite.
Arriving opposite the public school “La Bastide”, turn left and take “Rue Pavée” to cross the center of Villeneuve, reach Place des Conques then the Tour Soubirane.
Return via the boulevard on your left to the Sol de la Dîme car park.
