The Scree of the lake

Montmeyan
Régusse
Artignosc-sur-Verdon
Régusse

Description

This loop is dedicated to lovers of wide open spaces where wild nature is everywhere: stunning landscapes, varied trails and breathtaking views over the lake of Montmeyan.

CROSSED TOWNS: Montmeyan, Régusse, Artignosc-sur-Verdon

START OF THE TRACK
Stadium-cemetery car park at the roundabout, signposted "D 30 La Verdière".

MARKINGS: ORANGE

Take the Gabre path for 1.5 km ( asphalt road), and enjoy! It's all downhill.

As soon as you reach the unpaved track, turn right along the field and cross the oak forest for about 2 km to reach the main track.

This track can be enjoyed in hot weather, as it is fairly enclosed by vegetation and quite wild. Remember to keep your head down, as the branches are low and the terrain a little tricky.

Then turn left and continue for 2 km as far as the directional arrow post "LES HUSSARDS n°274", then head for Régusse. The rest of your journey is fairly straightforward. You'll be on small, fairly smooth paths until you reach the Régusse road.

Turn right to reach the "LES MOULINS n°251" signpost and continue towards "Montmeyan Village".

As you pass, admire the two Régusse mills, dating from the end of the 15th century.

Continue straight on towards the centre of the village. At the "LES CLAUS n°252" signpost, turn left in the direction of "Montmeyan Village". There is approximately 1.7 km of asphalt.

Go down the rue des Écoles to the roundabout, then head towards the Saint-Jean quarter. Be careful with your calves, it's slightly uphill.

At the end of the residential area, at the "SAINT-JEAN n°253" signpost, follow the signs for "Artignosc Village". Leave the asphalt behind and get back into the swing of things on this fairly easy path, which alternates between ascents and descents and has no difficulties over a distance of just over 4 km, as far as the "FONTAYNE n°279" signpost.

Follow the signs for "Artignosc Village". On the way, don't forget to stop and admire the Domaine de Pampelonne fountain. After crossing the D7, zigzag through the trees of the small Sainte-Euphémie wood for about 2 km. At the "LA GARENE n°266" signpost, turn left towards "Artignosc Village". Go downhill with small obstacles for 1.3 km. Be careful crossing the D471!

At the top of the climb, turn left onto the road that runs parallel to the dead-end road.

At the "JAUBIN n°265" signpost, turn left towards "Montmeyan Village".

Be careful: a good stony downhill section followed by a steep slope immediately afterwards! Get your calves ready. 800 m after this arrow post, turn right and enjoy this steep path, with numerous obstacles (streams and rocks). Remember to follow the signs.

Continue along this path for 2 km before reaching the "CENDRUA n°268" signpost. Follow the signs for "Montmeyan Village" and you're off for almost 2 km of downhill on a stony track with panoramic views over the lake of Montmeyan and the surrounding hills.

At the end of the descent, you pass the lake and come to the signpost "L'ESCOURCHE n°269". Turn left and continue on the D 13 for 700 m. Keep to the right for safe driving.

At the "COCNILLET n°270" signpost, continue towards "Montmeyan Village" and enjoy this 7 km trail of varied landscapes and surfaces. Watch out for the false flat, as your thighs may sting a little. Take heart, there's still 1 km to go to the finish.

Lac de Quinson - Montmeyan Plage

Lac de barrage situé entre Quinson et Montmeyan. Ce lac intimiste entouré de gorges étroites et escarpés offre un cadre naturel propice aux activités nautiques. Pique-nique, balade, baignade, canoë, pédalo, bateau électrique, paddle, pêche.Ce lac artificiel s'étend vers les Basses Gorges du Verdon avec une profondeur maximale de 50 mètres. C'est un des lac du Verdon les plus secret grâce à son caractère sauvage, beaucoup plus prononcé que ceux d’Esparron ou de Sainte-Croix. Son embouchure est enjambée par un pont, point de départ symbolique des basses gorges. Après la base nautique, la confluence du Verdon avec son affluent le "Beau rivé" forme une remarquable roselière qui abrite des cistudes d'Europe, une tortue d'eau douce. > Histoire : C'est le barrage de Gréoux les Bains mis en fonction en 1967 à plus de 13 kilomètres en aval qui a permis la formation de cette retenue d'eau d'une superficie de 160 hectares. > Activités : - Bases nautiques à Montmeyan et à Quinson permettant de louer des canoë, paddle, pédalo et bateau électrique d'avril à octobre. C'est le point de départ pour remonter les Basses Gorges. - Pêche : quelques postes de pêche sont disponibles à proximité du pont de Quinson côté Montmeyan - Baignade non surveillée aux risques et périls des usagers. Les berges inclinées et instables, la profondeur des eaux et les variations du niveau de la retenue rendent l'accès du lac dangereux. > Equipements : - parking disponible sur place, payant du 15 mai au 30 septembre. - sanitaires publics à disposition sur le parking - des tables de pique-nique sont disponibles côté Quinson > Réglementation : - Bateau à moteur thermique interdit - Chiens obligatoirement en laisse - Camping-car et van interdits la nuit. Une aire de camping-car est disponible au centre du village de Montmeyan
