There are several car parks available along the route. We parked near the campsite entrance at the northern tip.
(S/E) Start the tour in a counterclockwise direction.
Start on the pavement, then take the first steps down to water level and follow the path.
Go under a ramp providing access from the road, cross a beach area to reach the water sports centre.
(1) A shortcut allows you to cross it and continue along the banks to reach a closed gate.
(2) Go around it, passing close to the water. (Not accessible with a pushchair).
(3) Continue along the riverbank and cross the wetland area via the network of footbridges. Take the opportunity to admire the flora and fauna and read the information provided. In the surrounding area, note the contemporary villas that blend in well with the landscape.
In this area, do not try to get close to the shore, as it is impassable. Instead, head towards and around the church
(4) Take the first road on the left, Poudure D90a.
Follow this road as it climbs slightly and enjoy the view of the lake and surrounding hills.
Go through the hamlet of Poudure and follow the road opposite for about 300 metres
(5) Turn left onto the path that will take you closer to the lake. When you reach the water's edge in the bay to the south-east of the lake, continue along the path to the Pont de l'Arche bridge.
(6) Join a tarmac road and follow it for 120m until you reach the first crossroads.
Turn left, then 100 metres further on, turn left again (almost due north) and continue for 15 metres to take a path heading north-west.
After 20 m, at the intersection of paths, take the left fork and continue to the road (D90). The car park is right next to it (S/E).
