Follow the path to the Roche-Talamy dam via the Tourtouéroux footbridge. Go past the dam and descend along the lake for 800 m, then up to Saint Aleix by the second path on the left, but you can also go directly to Saint Aleix by the Pic Noir circuit (purple markings). In the village, take the road on the left. After the last house, take the right-hand track and follow it to the crossroads. 50 m further on, take the right-hand track. Follow the ridge to a reservoir.
