Follow the VTT markup no. 1 black.

Cross the river la Gimone behind the campsite (well follow the marking N°1 black)

Continue your way, follow the river to the wood of Larrouy in St Elix d'Astarac.

While crossing the wood you admire the 1⁄2 work "Kazé" ("wind" in Japanese) which resembles a tornado held in balance.

Cross the D12, continue to the paved road towards Saramon.

At the end of the woods, go down to the valley of the Lauze which you go up for a few kilometers. Cross the river and go up towards Moncaut: you have a magnificent view of the abbey of Faget Abbatial, one of the oldest in Gascony.

Continuing your way, you pass near a beautifully restored windmill to go down to Lamaguère where you can see the ruins of the 12th century castle.

Join the wood of Aguin, go down to Lambert on the valley of Arrats and climb to Plan. Cross the wood, go down to the valley of the Arrats which you go up to Sére.

Following the black N°1 signpost, you arrive at Monties and admire the magnificent landscape. Join Monbardon, cross the D12 and the river Gimone and take the path of the poutche which will lead you to the mill of Gaujan.

Direction the D12, take again the path towards Villefranche that you follow by a dirt road.

Cross the river again and take the path that leads you to the 1⁄2 work "Yané" ("roof" in Japanese).

Take the path, at the end of the coast turn right: the ridge road offers you one of the most beautiful views of the countryside and the Pyrenees.

By following the black N°1 markers, you arrive at the Bois d'Higués that you cross.
