A pleasant little circuit apart from the short stretch of road.
We left the forest road to take some mountain bike trails that were nicer.

A lovely, easy walk. You don't see much of the lake, but part of the walk is through very pleasant woodland.
Be careful on the section along the road, as you really have to walk alongside it and it can be busy.

A pleasant loop completed in November, with a slight variation, first heading south towards the town centre and then joining the canal via the path that extends from Rue Baptiste Marcet, which takes you past a small port south of the canal and adds a little variety to the landscape, before rejoining the route at point 2. A leisurely walk completed in 1 hour 40 minutes
You can't see the lake at all between points 3 and 6, where the route is in the forest on a slightly heavy sandy path.

A lovely nature trail around this bucolic lake. An abundance of water lilies, a few birds, some fishermen. That's all we saw. An easy route despite a few fallen trees. Option to detour to the arboretum, but the path along the road is a bit tricky, so be careful as it's very busy.

A pleasant route, even though I did it in winter.
You don't see much of the lake and part of the route is on the road.
But otherwise, most of the walk is in the forest.
Without children, my wife and I completed the circuit in 1½ hours.
We'll do it again in the spring to get some nicer photos.

A beautiful, easy hike that runs alongside the canal for longer than the view of the lake.

A pleasant, easy circuit. The route is shaded, with a lovely picnic area at point 2. However, there is little view of the lake except between points 1 and 2.

A few people at the start of the hike, then no one else.
A very pleasant walk in the forest, with a lovely view of the lake in the second half of the route and a pleasant return trip along the canal.

Flat route. We did it with our grandchildren, who enjoyed this easy walk. Lots of shade. You need to be careful when crossing the road, especially with young children.

The trail quickly moves away from the lake, which is a shame!
Nevertheless, the place is peaceful

The trail starts off well, following the lake, but it quickly veers away from it for quite a long stretch, leaving you unsure whether you are still on the right path. When in doubt, we decided to turn back. The blue markings can be misleading.
