Steps

  • Park in the church parking lot.
  • Follow the yellow markings taking Rue des Fours à Pain, parallel to the D28. Then take Rue des Treilles. The route turns into a path a few meters later.
  • Follow the balcony path with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks. Join a track.
  • Take the yellow marked route opposite. You arrive a few hundred meters later at an intersection.
  • Turn right to make a detour to see the Church of Sant Andreu.
  • Return to the intersection.
  • Continue straight to reach the hamlet of Llar.
  • Go up in the village by the right by taking the Rue des Fontaines. Continue on the path to the right, cross the Canal de Llar and Canaveilles. Further on, several bends are offered to you before, finally, reaching a flat area in the forest. Continue on the route and reach a junction of paths.
  • Descend to the right in this very beautiful peaceful forest.
  • Continue straight, leaving a path to the right, reach a crossroads further on.
  • Follow the track which descends slightly opposite for about a hundred meters before abandoning it by taking a path (always marked yellow) which goes to the left. Go past a fountain and join the previously abandoned track.
  • Cross over to take the path opposite which crosses the track twice before rejoining it near a bend.
  • Cross the fence and continue the descent towards the village. Cross the path leading to houses on the left and continue on the path opposite. Cross the same path, pass between the houses and join the main street opposite the church. Go down to the right to the parking lot.
