LES COLLINES DE L'AUTAN -PR17
IGN cards
Description
Here, more than anywhere else, the land undulates as if lifted by a swell triggered by the Autan wind. On this walk, just outside Toulouse, enjoy panoramic views of the Hers valley and the Montagne Noire from the hills of the Lauragais region of Toulouse.
Along the way you'll discover :
In Montgiscard: the 20th-century postcard-style Grand'Rue, Saint-André church (1541)
In Donneville: Saint-Pierre church (1484) with its bell tower and wall, the 19th-century Chapillonie fountain
In Deyme: the church of Sainte-Marie Madeleine (12th and 16th centuries), the shaded Alex Ouillac square with its plane trees, arbour and picnic tables.
In Montbrun-Lauragais: the 1680 mill, the 19th-century church of Saint-Michel and several viewpoints.
Beware of several road crossings, including the D24 (twice) and slippery terrain in wet weather.
