Adorable little lake where it's good to have a picnic and swim before getting back on the road!

Some parts are steep and slippery. The loop itself is no longer feasible as it is, on 3 occasions we had to turn back or choose another route because the route was no longer accessible (vegetation too dense, privatization of the passage)

The lake is very empty. And summer is not here yet!😞we can go before the hut along the bank since there is less water to access the parking lot and continue the walk
