In the Combrailles region, through woods and pastures, the path leads to the banks of the pond, equipped with pontoons on stilts. Information panels trace the history of local rural life.
– Panoramic view of the Etang de Farges.
– View of the Butte d’Herment.
Étape 1 : From the start sign at the entrance to the pond, take the path leading to the picnic area on the edge of the lake. Walk along the shore on the right for 150 m, until you come to a grove of birch and conifers.
Étape 2 : Go up to the right. At the road (with a view of the Etang de Farges and the Butte d’Herment), continue straight ahead. Take the first track on the left. In the woods, continue on the main path until you reach a crossroads.
Étape 3 : Turn left at a right angle. Ignore the paths on the right and follow the main road. Turn left at the road. After 300 m, turn left onto the first track and then, 100 m further on, turn right onto the wooden footbridge that runs alongside the pond. After the restaurant, cross the dyke and take the road back to the starting point.
