This pleasant and family hike leads to the discovery of a typical village of the Baronnies with slate roofs and lavender clotures (slate slabs). We walk through the grassy meadows, in the middle of forests, discovering a hamlet of barns or beautiful landscapes on the ridge, facing the Pic du Midi.

Steps

1Departure: parking of the "Espace Préhistoire de Labastide" (open to the public) take the direction of the village. Take the second street on the right, crossing the village with many traditional houses. Continue through the central street, then pass in front of the café and take straight towards the exit of the village.
2At the intersection of the D26 and D217, take the stone paved road, which goes up in the extension. You’re in the White Stone Woods. Out of the woods, you take on the left a small path that passes between a few barns (beautiful view of the village of Labastide). After a slight descent through a moor of ferns, follow the signposting to the left on the D217, then to the right at a calvary ("Maison Lagoutère"), take a pleasant path that spans a stream in the hollow of a valley from which one emerges to reach the D77.
3Immediately turn left, a path that quickly rises on a ridge ("La Poumarède": beautiful views of the Baronnies, right, view of the Medieval Tower of Avezac).
4Crossing the district of Sorde (follow the markings well), we leave again the tar for pleasant underpasses and we reach the village of "Granges du Touaou", a preserved site, where 40 people lived at the beginning of the XX° century. Descent to the village by a path through meadows and barns to reach the "Espace Préhistoire de Labastide".
5A la 3° intersection, descendre à droite par le GR78 au travers du bois de la Pierre Blanche et suivre le chemin puis le sentier qui ramènent à Labastide puis à l'Espace Préhistoire (traversée du village avec maisons traditionnelles).
