Lac des Leschères and Montreuil-sur-Blaise Communal Forest

Parking: Lac des Leschères car park.

(S/E) Leave the car park and continue towards the campsite on the right.

(1) Ignore the path leading down to the right (return route), continue straight on along a grassy path marked in green and yellow, and follow it along the edge of the forest up to the 185m mark.

(2) Turn right and continue along the path that enters the forest.

(3) Ignore a path on the right 100 m further on, which you will take later. For now, continue straight on to reach the junction with a wider forest track: elevation 203.

(4) Turn left until you reach the junction with the white track opposite.

(5) Turn left onto a track at the edge of the village and follow it for about 1.3 km.

(6) Turn left and follow the track to reach the plain, then take the track on the left which continues along the edge of the woodland and rejoins the junction you passed on the way out.

(2) Continue left along the same route as on the way there for about 200 m.

(3) Turn right for 80 m, then left, and continue along this blue and yellow-marked path to reach a junction near the lake.

(7) Turn right onto a white path that goes round the lake to reach the junction at the start of the walk.

(1) Head left to retrace your steps and return to the car park (S/E).
