The triangular crossroads at the entrance to La Baudrière is the starting point for groups arriving by bus. Individuals arriving by car can go directly to the car park on the left-hand side of the road before the bridge near the (1).
(S/E) Take the Chateaulong road and descend towards Lac du Jaunay.
(1) Before the bridge, turn left onto the path leading to the car park. Shortly afterwards, take the path on the left and immediately after that, ignore the path on the right which descends to the lake (dead end). The path follows the southern shore of the lake. Further on, it runs along the edge of a forest and overlooks the lake slightly.
Near a point of land, take the path straight ahead, leaving the one that branches off to the left and goes around a cove below Roche Guillaume. Cross the bridge, which avoids having to walk along both banks of the cove in question.
(2) At the end of the bridge, take the path on the right. This path follows the shores of the lake and emerges a little further on from the wooded area. It then goes around a point of land, winds its way and passes below Roche Baudouin to rejoin the water's edge a little further on. A bridge allows you to cut across a small cove below the Servantière campsite.
After the bridge, the path winds through a wooded area and finally arrives at the end of a road coming from La Servantière.
(3) Follow the road for a few metres and immediately turn right onto the path that runs alongside the lake to reach the Lac du Jaunay dam next to the drinking water plant near La Savarière.
(4) Cross the dam and take the path that follows the northern shore of the lake, which is steeper in this section, to a place called Le Pré.
Once you are near the Bellevue campsite, ignore the first path on the left that leads to the campsite and, a little further on, the path on the right that descends to the lake and runs along the shore. Continue along the hillside towards Le Pré.
Continue straight ahead at the next junction and join a slightly larger path. Turn right towards Le Pré, which is only a few hundred metres away. Once you reach the road, turn right and cross Le Pré to come out at a T-junction.
(5) Continue right towards the lake shore. Shortly after a building on the left side of the road, the road gives way to a path that runs along the north shore. Continue straight ahead, staying as close as possible to the lake, until you reach the Chateaulong road at La Baudrière.
(6) Cross the road and take the path opposite. At the entrance to the bridge over Lac du Jaunay towards La Baudrière, leave the path on your left that goes all the way around the lake (see practical information) and take the bridge.
(1) At the end of the bridge, individual walkers will find themselves back at the car park they started from. Walkers in groups and those travelling by bus should walk back up the road to the triangular crossroads, which marks the end of the route for groups (S/E).
