After points 3 and 4, before turning, there is a fairly steep descent with lots of rocks, which should not be attempted by people with poor balance, as there is a risk of slipping and falling. It's a shame because this hike is enjoyable but should be avoided in the height of summer.

A pleasant hike, except for the long gas pipeline track between points 3 and 4. It's not very interesting, and the descent is somewhat dangerous. Apart from that, the connections between the other points are very nice, even in winter.

This hike around Brignoles was a good warm-up. At that time, we didn't meet a soul!

beautiful views, pine forests and a lake full of water that made us want to go swimming because it was so hot, but swimming is prohibited there.

A hike with some scenery and a lake that is rather sad at the moment (very little water).
The path leading back to the ridge is not always easy to find.

A rather uninteresting walk along wide, very straight tracks. No signposting. Lots of hunters. There are much better walks in the area.

This route is not well known. Our club members enjoyed it. The lake was full when we scouted it this spring, but empty this October.
We did the route in the opposite direction to synchronise our lunch at the lake and to take the steep uphill slope on the west side, as some people were uncomfortable descending on wet ground.

A pleasant little hike under the clear skies of Provence. Very easy to follow, with wide tracks and narrow paths winding between flowering heather bushes. In short, a fun day out with friends, including a picnic by Lake Carnier. The lake was surprisingly full despite the drought, probably fed by active springs.

Hello everyone
The walk is peaceful. Between points 2 and 4, the wide, very sunny path (be careful in summer) is disappointing. The rest of the route is rather pleasant and bucolic (dirt path through the woods). Be careful, it gets very muddy after rain.

We had trouble finding the starting point; the Visorando app's GPS took us to Brignoles town centre. In fact, the starting point was easy to find without GPS.
The first part of the trail isn't great, but then there's a forest and a lake, which are fantastic!

Beautiful hike, beautiful weather, blue skies. The brown lake after the October storms in Brignoles.
A beautiful day.

Hello, I had trouble (as always, so I think it's me who's the problem) following the route, so I used Google Maps to make sure I didn't get lost. I did the route, but in the opposite direction (which wasn't bad either).
The lake is very beautiful, but it's a shame you can't swim in it (it's prohibited). Old mine
Thank you for this discovery.
I crossed paths with a deer. It was a truly wonderful moment.
