Captieux – Bourriot-Bergonce

The route continues first along the greenway, then along quiet forest tracks.

There are more pine trees here than people, with an average of 5 inhabitants per square kilometre2 – one of the lowest population densities in France – but it is not uncommon to come across walkers heading for Santiago de Compostela along the way.

A detour via Giscos offers the chance to admire a typical example of a farmstead in its airial, a clearing characteristic of the agro-pastoral way of life of yesteryear.
