Country:
District:
Park in the Parc de Loisirs car park. There are male and female toilets to the south of the car park.
(S/E) Leave the car park and take the Domaine de l'Étang road on the right, then turn left immediately before the entrance to the estate onto the stone path. This path runs between the pond on the left and the golf course on the right. At the end, turn right, then just before the Voie Verte bridge, turn left onto the path.
(1) Join the Voie Verte and follow it until it ends at a road. The Voie is entirely tarmac, but the right-hand shoulder allows you to walk on a soft surface.
(2) Cross Rue du Pont and leave the Voie Verte, continuing slightly to the left towards the picnic table. Join the road and turn left to cross the old stone bridge towards Loyat.
Just after the bridge is a picnic area with toilet facilities.
(3) Leave the picnic area by crossing the road and heading towards the campsite tennis court. Turn left to keep the tennis court on your right and walk along the Yvel.
(4) At the large boulders, turn right and go around the lake to reach the footbridge over the river.

(5) Turn right after the footbridge and continue to the retaining wall (very wet or even flooded area).
(6) Cross the retaining wall and continue for 200 metres before turning sharply left. Take the footbridge over the marsh and continue through the marsh, listening to the birds singing. The path runs alongside a road without ever reaching it.
(7) Ignore the path on the right and continue straight ahead along the pond. The path crosses an access road to the pond. It veers northwards, becoming a carriageway to bypass the Saint-Jean stream.
(8) Leave the road on the left to take the footbridge over the stream and stay as close as possible to the pond. Cross a road used for launching boats and continue on the left. Do the same at the second road, continuing straight ahead.
(9) When you reach the path, turn left and continue along the pond. Continue between private properties on the right and the pond on the left to reach the water sports centre buildings.
(10) Go around the water sports centre as close to the pond as possible and walk along the beach. Continue on the right to reach Rue des Belles Rives.
(11) Turn left and continue along the protected path that runs alongside the road.
(12) Take the stairs on the left and walk along the pond, then cross the road to reach the car park (S/E).
