Des Fourches et des collines hiking trail

Saint-Félix-Lauragais is strategically located overlooking the plain and hillsides of the Lauragais. This former castelnau offers superb views of the Montagne Noire to the east, the Pyrenees to the south (on a clear day), Lauragais hills and Monts de Lacaune to the north.This 8 km walk will give you a good idea of the richness of this medieval village and its exceptional environment.


Round the corner from Place Guillaume de Nogaret, turn left into Rue Déodat de Séverac.
Enter the park straight along this street and make a quick round trip to the orientation table at the top of a flight of stairs. When you leave the park, turn left and go through the Porte Roqueville.
In the bend to the left, continue straight ahead through the grass and turn right to pass below the house.
Cross D622 (a busy road) and head down the grassy path. You will pass by an old wash-house. Cross a tarmac road and continue straight on towards Pousseilles Basses. The asphalt gives way to grass.
At the crossroads, turn right and climb a gravel path to the crest. Follow the track to the right for about 100 m.
Go left down a farm track.
At the bottom, leave the track on the right. Go straight up. Continue straight on for 2.5 km. Along the way, enjoy the view over Saint-Félix-Lauragais to the north, Le Vaux to the west and Caraman to the north-west.
At the crossroads, continue straight ahead on a tarmac road.
After 500 m, turn right at the hamlet of Plaisance. Near a well, leave the tarmac road that climbs to the right towards En Gry Vieux and descend to the left on a grassy path, then continue straight ahead on the tarmac road until you reach the Combelasse screened well.
Turn left and head up towards the village on another grassy track. Bend right under the cemetery and Saint-Roch chapel.
Turn left onto a pedestrian passageway between a garden and a house, which leads to a street. Then climb the steps to the left until you reach the D622 (beware of dangerous bends). Walk on the pavement and use the pedestrian crossings to cross over to the inn and join rue Déodat de Séverac leading up to the church. Return to the square around the covered market.
