Leave your car behind the village church.
Follow the road for about 300 m towards the dam.
At the first bend, near the "croix blanche" (white cross), take the path opposite. Follow this small trail for about 40 mins (pass near Saint Peter Chapel).
You will arrive at the embankment of the lake. No houses are visible from here, enjoy the chance to admire the countryside in a pure and untouched state!
Continue around the lake. You will pass close to the Domaine des Grands Prés where you will find information about the local animal and plant life.
Climb up the path which leads to the small hamlet of "Les Michaux" and continue along the road (very little traffic) back to Saint-Agnan.
