Go through the crossroads - “Le Cros”, then - “Tabarde”, then head to - “Maison du Bois”. Go towards - “Tailladette” and head left towards “Taillade”. - At "Taillade" continue straight to “Bois de l’Agre”. - From "Bois de l'Agre" go back to “Taillade” via a beautiful descent and come back to the village using the same route as at the start: "Tailladette", "Maison du bois", "Tabarde", "Le Cros" and "Camprieu".
