Yellow markings
(S/E) Starting from Géraudot Beach, facing the beach, head towards the forest on the left. After the boat ramp, take the cycle path.
(1) At the entrance to the Petite Italie peninsula (information sign): you can return via the same route to see the middle of Lac d'Orient (an extra 4 km).
(2) Still on the cycle path, cross an open area (flood spillway) which offers a beautiful view of Lac d'Orient.
(3) Cross the D43 and stay on the cycle path that runs alongside the road to Lac du Temple, then follow it along the Brévonnes dyke, which offers wide views of the lake and its nature reserve.
(4) Leave the dyke via a white path on the left, cross the road and follow it for 180 metres before taking a dirt track through the forest (watch out for electric wires to deter wild boar, which block the path in several places: you must step over them without touching them).
(5) At the crossroads marking the exit from the forest, turn left to stay in the forest, then take a shaded sunken path between the forest and the countryside.
(6) Take the D79 to the right for 220 metres, then turn left onto the white path that crosses the countryside and offers a view of the Étang de Maurepaire.
(7) Enter the Petit Orient Forest, taking care to avoid the electric wires again.
(8) Turn right to leave the forest onto the white path towards the plain, then follow this path straight ahead.
(9) At the crossroads on the plain (former campsite), turn left towards the bell tower of the church in Géraudot.
(10) Cross the D43 and follow it to the left, staying on the pavement and then taking the safe path to Géraudot Beach (S/E).
