(S/E) From the Leisure Park next to the “Le Septentrion” campsite, head back along the road in the opposite direction and walk past the Indian camp “Les Tipis du Bonheur de Vivre”.
(1) Just after the camp, turn left onto the Chemin du Pissot, which climbs towards Brûlon. When you reach the tower of the same name, enjoy the view over the lake.
(2) When you reach the Place des Anciennes Halles, turn left to join the main street. First turn right then left to take Rue de la Douve. This street, which no longer exists, once surrounded a “motte” castle. La Motte is on your left. It was here that Claude Chappe carried out his first telegraphic experiments. First turn right then left onto Rue de l’Église to join Rue Maussion. Continue straight ahead along the small street which turns into a path and winds down the hillside before veering left at the bottom.
(3) At the junction, turn right before you reach the tarmac. This track crosses a small stream, then climbs before descending again on the other side to cross another stream. Carry on straight ahead to climb up to Avessé and reach the church.
(4) Walk round the church at Avessé, keeping it on your right; pass in front of its main entrance and continue along Rue de la Libération to the roundabout. Take the road on the right. Pass the hamlet known as La Rue, then, shortly after the washhouse, turn right towards La Bècre.
(5) Do not follow the road when it bends, but carry straight on along the track. Then, at the Fork in the road, take the track on the left. This climbs up to join a small road; turn left and then, before the first houses in the hamlet of La Fosse, turn right onto the small track (an old railway line, the Promenade des Anglais).
(6) At the next road, first turn right then left to continue almost directly opposite along the path. This will take you past the cemetery. Keep going in the same direction until you reach the D35. Turn right, then right again to reach Brûlon Church.
(7) Walk past the main entrance to the church, follow the side of the church keeping it on your left, and turn right onto Chemin des Vignes. You’ll cross the path you took on the way out and continue straight ahead.
(8) At the Croix Cornuel, turn left to cross Avenue de la Libération and immediately turn right into the small street. Turn left at the Fork in the road. After about a hundred metres, a path leads down to the left; take this path. It leads to the campsite and the leisure park.
(9) Once you reach the lake, finish this walk by walking round the lake, keeping it on your left (with the Vègre on your right), and return to the starting point (S/E).
