This is at the end of town, and worth the stop if only to refill your water bottles.

Labastide-Roquefère - end of great trail turn right

The trail leading to this point is a fantastic little run with a mild descent and some slightly minimally technical portions well worth a solid run.

After taking the trail (and a bit of road) from Roquefère this is the view welcoming you into Mas Cabardès.

Mas Cabardès-La Tourette Carardès - turn right

Probably should include a couple of interim steps before this one, like the climb to the old castle in Mas Cabardès, but forgot to stop. This is more or less at the top of the climb and about to head down into La Tourette which is quite a pleasant path.

La Tourette Cabardès - entrance to town

Very small town with a nice tower that welcomes you in. You will have to head down to the main road and follow it out of town until you reach a trail that takes off on your left (about 500m out of town and on the main road).

This is where the last trail begins. Check the signs that mark the road as there is a point before reaching town that you must follow a very small trail (left turn).
