00h -From the church square, turn left, heading east, along the Houraou path, part of the Chemin de St Jacques (GR78). After 200 m, near a wash-house, go back up the Chemin du Pouech for 100 m, then take a wide, flat track parallel to the D618 for about 1 km.
00:20 - Leave the GR and take a path to the left. Above the first ruined barn, the path continues flat to the small “Vignat” stream. It then continues east and north through the woods for 20 minutes. It doesn't take long to reach the first Granges de Juncalas.
1h00 - Towards the end of the hamlet (second group of barns), turn right and then left on the “Poujaou” path, which leads to the Paleraze plateau.
Paleraze plateau, which offers a remarkable panorama.
For the return journey, take the carriage road downhill: at the first crossroads on the right, take the second turning on the left back to the path you took at the start.
