Description of the walk

Park in the car park just after the dyke on the right.
PN markings along the entire route.

(S/E) Head onto the dyke, leaving the lake on your left. Continue to the end of the dyke.

(1) Turn left to follow the lake towards Chastagnol. Leave this hamlet on your right. Continue to the small wooden bridge and enter the forest.

(2) Turn right onto a wider path, then left towards La Grave. Continue to the crossroads.

(3) Turn left and take a path running alongside the golf course. Take care, as golf balls can fly in all directions here. You will reach the Puy des Fourches crossroads.

(4) Turn left and continue following the PN markings. You will reach another crossroads.

(5) Turn right onto a pretty path that leads to Villières. Pass the first crossroads.

(6) Turn left towards the water tower. Leave it on your right and follow the edge of the forest. You will come to another crossroads.

(7) Continue on the left, still along the edge of the forest, to reach the water treatment plant. Turn left, stay on the edge and, before the camp, turn right. Cross the car park and return to the starting point (S/E).

A 7 km circular with my dog, whom I was able to let off the leash except when walking along the golf course, as I was afraid she might touch the electric fence.
An easy and varied route along the pond (more like a lake in size), through the forest and open countryside. 99% on paths and 1% on roads. Not many people out on this beautiful sunny Sunday.

A very pleasant walk through the woods, but it is a shame that you can only walk along part of the lake due to the golf course.

The Coiroux nature trail is a pleasant hike around the lake of the same name and the golf course, returning via the Coiroux Paradise Campsite.
The walk is approximately 7.2 km long and takes 1 hour 50 minutes to complete, with no major difficulties.
The yellow markings could perhaps be refreshed in places for less experienced hikers, but otherwise it's a beautiful and enjoyable walk.
I recommend it if you are in the area.

A pleasant, shaded walk to enjoy on a summer morning, ending with a picnic, a swim and a nap in the shade by the lake.

A lovely walk deep in the woods.
Neon green markings.
It took me two hours walking slowly.

A parish specific to Brittany, beautiful walk along the lake shore. The woods are pleasant and lead us to the golf course, from where we return to the campsite.
