Lembeye : le chemin des lacs à VTT

From Place Marcadieu, head towards Rue de la Tour, pass under the porch and turn right at the stop sign. When you reach the boulevard, head towards Maubourguet on the D943, keeping an eye out for traffic. Just after the hairpin bend, turn left onto chemin des Cardes, then left again onto rue de Juliaa. Continue straight ahead until you reach a grassy path. After a long descent (watch out for the pebbles!), turn left, then after the farm, follow a stream to the right. On the track, follow the shady banks of Lac de Lembeye-Corbère to the right.

Climb up onto the tarmac. At the top, turn left and keep going until you reach a crossroads, then turn left-right and walk past the Maison pour Tous to reach the left bank of Bassillon-Vauzé lake. Go around the entire lake on a track and cross the dam. Walk up towards the Maison pour Tous and turn right. This is followed by a short descent, then a short climb as a warm-up for what's to come! At the entrance to Corbère-Abères, leave the D205 on the Chemin du Château Peyros and walk past the church.

Head left towards the château. At the top of the hill, go down the chemin d'Arsaut and drive straight on at the crossroads. At a house (Bachet), go straight ahead on a grassy track and then drive along an avenue of oak trees on the left. At the tarmac, turn right and leave the chemin de la croix du Barry onto the chemin du lac. Climb to the top and turn left twice after the stop sign. When you reach the main road (be careful of traffic), turn left towards Lembeye, then at the calvary, follow signs for Maubourguet. When you arrive in front of the pediment, turn right and drive as far as Place Marcadieu.
