GRENADE - L'AVOCAT

Description

The circular walk starts at En Garre, a hamlet in Grenade situated along the River Save. There is a pretty old fountain there. The walk then heads towards Larra. In the Middle Ages, Grenade and Larra were ‘granges’, that is to say, agricultural estates belonging to Grandselve Abbey. Larra was long part of Grenade; it was not until 1955 that Larra gained its independence to become a separate municipality.

At Coustète, take the track on the left and when you reach the D87, turn left and then immediately right towards the hamlet of Aubinels. At the bottom of the hamlet, turn right, then left across the fields to the curtain of trees bordering the river Save. Turn right and then right again for 1.4km to reach the hamlet of En Garre via the Save valley. Go up into the hamlet and through it to come out on the D87. Turn right for 40m, then left on the rising road. At the house on the right, "Le Prieur", take the dirt track opposite for 1 km. At the crossroads, turn right onto the Chemin de Bramayre basse. Continue to the next crossroads. Go back down to the right along the chemin de l'Avocat. Here you will pass an old barn belonging to Grandselve Abbey. At the road, turn right for 50m, then left through the fields. At the flagpole, go straight ahead and then take the same path as before.
