Itinerary

  • Step 1 :

    From Place Macadieu, take Rue Jean Moulin and turn left onto Chemin de la Gare. Follow the road down to the D16. Follow the road back up, keeping an eye out for traffic. Cross over to the first street on the right (rue Victor Lefranc). Walk towards Place de la Liberté, then turn right. Cross the car park on your right and go down the few steps between the Post Office and the swimming pool. Walk past the school, along rue des Fosses, and head towards the Médiathèque, just past the stadium. Go up the D41 (avenue Martyrs de la Résistance) and past the old school.

  • Step 2 :

    After the college, go down chemin Sartoulet, then left onto chemin de la Vieille Église. A path descends steeply to the right and leads to a fountain (la Houn de Caouté). Go back and forth and continue straight ahead, then go around the Arènes. Turn right into rue du cimetière, cross the esplanade and take rue du Béarn, which joins the square.
