Description of the walk

Park in the village’s main car park, Place Marengo, at the foot of the church.

(S/E) Facing the church entrance, go round it to the right, along Rue Paul Bodin, towards the castle. At the end, turn right towards the stadium. Leave the stadium on your right and cross the small bridge over the Hers.

(1) Immediately afterwards, take the path on the left which leads onto a tarmac road. Continue to the left and join the D15. Turn right and follow it on the right-hand side, using a small path to ensure your safety.

(2) At the junction, turn left. Continue along the road, taking care of traffic. Pass the road on your left (which you will take on the way back) and walk for about 50 metres.

(3) Take the small grassy path on your right, which leads down to the lake. It runs alongside a stream flowing from Lake Régambert. Continue until you reach a small bridge, which then takes you up to the level of the lake. Follow the path around Lake Régambert until you reach a small tarmac road.

(4) Go straight on to continue round the lake. Turn left at the corner of the campsite, then left again to complete the circuit and rejoin the D333. Follow the road to the left to reach the junction with the small grassy path used to reach the lake.

(3) Continue straight on, then turn right to follow the road leading towards the village, through the fields. Then cross a bridge over the Hers, under the plane trees, and head straight up the road to the village to reach the Grand Rue.

(5) Turn left and return to Place Marengo (S/E).

Short, very easy and pleasant walk.
No difficulty finding the route and the description is accurate, but the style sometimes confused me a little (for example, "leave the stadium on your right" should be understood as "when you reach the stadium, turn left (and then the stadium will be on your right)".
The lake is a beautiful spot for a picnic.

A very short walk indeed
The lake is lovely
the return journey via the D333 is uninteresting; it’s better to take the same little path you took on the way there

A lovely walk starting from the pretty village of Salles-sur-l'Hers. Great spots for a family picnic by the lake.
