Yes, we visited Diane's pond in Aléria, Corsica. The scenery was magnificent, and the tour was perfectly guided.

It's a very beautiful hike with no difficulty, but I don't recommend it in summer as there is little shade. In May, the flowers are a delight and the pretty views of the sea and the pond make this circuit a pleasant walk.

A circuit that can be monotonous if you don't take the side roads.

Calm and peaceful, a beautiful walk between the sea and the lagoon in the Corsican scrubland

A sunny route in winter, but best avoided in summer!
Beautiful view of the snow-capped mountains from the side of Diane Pond.

A pleasant short hike in a natural setting. Be aware that it can get very hot in summer. Great in December, followed by a picnic on the beach at the end of the car park

A superb hike that we did again in the opposite direction to enjoy different views.

the first part, up to the tower, is great. It's interesting to walk along the sea and avoid the track to see the coastal plants, especially the sea daffodil. However, the second part isn't great, as there's a lot of track and there are also junctions leading to the pond that cause confusion. The signposting isn't clear. At the end of the circuit, it's the same thing: you lose the markings, it's monotonous and the landscape is uninteresting. It's the worst hike of our stay.

A parish-specific to Brittany hike. Easy, with beautiful spots on both the sea and lake sides. The tower is magnificent and the colours are superb.
The only downside is that when you reach the edge of the pond, there is quite a bit of rubbish on the shore, brought in by bad weather but also by the negligence of people who have squatted on the shore.🙁

An easy, pleasant, very sunny route (hat recommended), between the sea and Diane Lake, with views of the mountains and islands. An olfactory discovery of the Corsican maquis. Unfortunately, I was unable to name this plant with such a pleasant fragrance.

The circuit mainly follows a very wide, straight track through low scrubland covered with mastic trees, arbutus trees, etc. One might question the purpose of these tracks, which disfigure the environment (are they for hunters or fishermen?).
The landscape is therefore of little interest, with little or no view of the sea or the lake, and little or no possibility of entering the scrubland itself (ditches, mounds of earth, etc.). This is undoubtedly a problem in the height of summer, as there is no shelter from the sun. Nevertheless, there are beautiful views from the tower, over the sea and the Diane lagoon, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance (route taken on Sunday 5 December 2021).
It is probably best to do the first part of the circuit along the sea rather than on the track.

Another inconvenience: along the lake, you feel like you are walking through a veritable dump of plastic, polystyrene, broken floats, bottles, etc., mainly from the oyster and shellfish farming that occupies part of the lake.
It should also be noted that on the sea side, it is not much better in terms of plastic and other waste... There are also obvious signs of coastal erosion.
On a positive note, however, there were numerous sea daffodils (Pancratium maritimum) in bloom at the time of our hike.

A beautiful hike that is accessible to families. Beautiful views of the sea and ponds.
The trail was very quiet in October. The weather was fine on the day we went and it was quite warm for the season. Be warned, there is no shade, so it must be very hot in summer.

We follow a "trail" made by a bulldozer...
Nothing of particular interest except for the tower.
