Tour of Lac des Vieilles Forges

Park in the large car park at the beach near the activity area.

(S/E) Head west along the lake and join Rue du Lac.

(1) Follow it to the left, walk past the tennis courts, then reach the village of Vieilles Forges. Continue to the Impasse des Sapins crossroads.

(2) Turn left and continue until you reach the lake dyke.

(3) Continue along the path that follows the road. Walk along the lake, then after a right-hand bend, you will reach Ruisseau le Noir.

(4) Cross it and further on cross the Ruisseau du Pont Gilles and arrive at a crossroads.

(5) Turn left, continue along the lake and arrive at Pont des Aunes.

(6) Cross it on the left. This bridge carries the D988 road, so take great carewhen crossing. At the end of the bridge, turn left to finish this tour of the lake at the beach car park (S/E).

(S/E) Note: in mid-September, the season was over, so we had the car park almost to ourselves.
(S/E) Toilets and catering facilities available.
