Fourches and the English cemetery cemetery

Saint-Félix-Lauragais is a village of breathtaking views - and what views! The village overlooks the entire Lauragais from the top of its limestone spur. From there, the view extends as far as the Montagne Noire, Monts de Lacaune, Corbières and, on a clear day, the spectacular Pyrenees.This short 5.3km circuit takes you through the hills and valleys of the Lauragais region.


Turn left into rue Déodat de Séverac, at the corner of Guillaume de Nogaret square. It climbs towards a little park next to the castle.
Enter the park to reach the orientation table on a terrace at the top of the stairs. Return to the street and go through Porte Roqueville.
At the bend in the road, continue straight ahead through the grass and turn right to pass below the house.
Cross the D622 (a very busy road) and go down the grassy path opposite. Pass a very old wash-house. Cross a tarmac road and continue towards Pousseilles Basses where the tarmac gives way to grass.
At the crossroads, turn right and climb a gravel path to the ridge.
Continue straight on, following the ridge. Go to the English cemetery (where Wellington passed through in 1814) in the shade of beautiful century-old cypress trees. Beautiful views over Saint-Félix-Lauragais.
Continue along the ridge for around 800 m until you come to a ruin on the right.
Turn right onto the steep track that descends sharply at the start. Follow it for 700 m to the screened well at Combelasse.
Cross the tarmac road and head uphill. Turn right under the cemetery and Saint-Roch chapel. Turn left onto a pedestrian crossing between a garden and a house, which leads to another street. Then climb the steps to the left until you reach the D622. Walk along the pavement, carefully using the pedestrian crossings at the Auberge du Poids Public. Walk up rue Déodat de Séverac towards the Collegiate church until you reach Place Guillaume de Nogaret.
