Along the shores of Lac des Bariousses, an ideal route is laid out to discover the beech and holly forests, a flora so special to the plateau; and its coniferous forests alternating with numerous green meadows.
The high vantage point that this route offers gives way to an exceptional view that imposes its gentle curves on the undulating landscape, all in protected natural surroundings.

3 points of interest

  • Lake

    The "Champs de l’eau"

    Site adjacent to Lake Bariousses, popular with fishermen for its carp swims and its many varieties of freshwater fish. The site also allows fishing for pike and zander due to the development of a pike spawning ground and the launching of fishing boats.
  • Panorama

    The Puy du Mas

    A remarkable site, renowned for its open, 360° view. Located at an altitude of 727 m, it is the highest point in the district and offers fabulous view over all the surrounding mountains.
  • Small patrimony

    The Croix de la Goutte

    An ancient stone cross, indicating the presence of a crossing, here between four roads.

Description

  1. Head north along the shore of Lac des Bariousses for 1 km past the "Champs de l'eau" site. At the crossroads with the D157, turn right. After 150 m, turn left to walk to the village of La Brunerie. Before the first house, take the left-hand track, and continue for 1.5 km to reach the D940.
