Tour of the Étang du Stock via the Three Bridges

This is a 7.5 km route that alternates between forest paths, canal walks, pondside walks and even an urban section. The elevation gain is very low, and the paths are well maintained and passable even in rainy weather. There are also picnic areas and benches where you can rest. This short hike is ideal for families and presents no difficulty.
