Comment : When you arrive in Lectoure, follow the signs "Cité scolaire Maréchal Lannes" (school) to find the start of the hike. The car park is not in front of the gymnasium but a bit farther, in front of the school. At point 1, the guide book indicates "Follow the crash barrier along the road for 200 metres". In reality, it is not 200 metres but rather 10 or 20 metres (see photo nr. 2). We had yellow signs from point 4 to the end of the walk. If we had followed the yellow-red signs between 5 and 6 as written in the guide book, we would have left the track. This walk goes from the exit of Lectoure to the campsite called "Le Lac des Trois-Vallées". After having turned around the campsite you walk back to the departure point. For more than 4 hours, you only see roads (often tarred), fields and farms with more or less agressive dogs not on a lead. In a nutshell : an uninteresting walk. A visit of the village of Lectoure (photo nr. 24) is enough.
