As you have to turn around from the lake, you retrace your steps. Great little walk. The road is rough but it goes very well. Be careful on the way back down. At times, the potholes are so big that you don't get caught out. Of course, you go all the way to the lake and then turn around on Plage Saint Julien. The arrival at the lake is rather beautiful. Yes, a sort of hidden gem.... read more

Comme il faut faire demi tour depuis le lac, on revient sur ses pas. Super petite balade. La route est défoncée mais ça passe très bien. Attention en redescendant. A la fois, les nids de poule sont si gros que l’on ne se laisse pas surprendre. Bien entendu, on va jusqu’au lac et on fait demi tour plage Saint Julien. L’arrivée sur le lac est plutôt belle. Oui, une sorte de joyau caché.
