Guidebook with maps/step-by-step
1/ From the start sign at the parking lot, follow the gravel path along the reservoir towards the Pont-du-Bouchet beach. After 300 m, turn right at the fork (view of the reservoir and the Sioulet-Sioule confluence). At the sanitary building, take the right-hand path up to a small road.
2/ Turn left down the road. After 50 m, take the track on the right. At the highest point (view of Confolant and La Chazotte), descend to reach a road, which you follow to the entrance to La Plage de Confolant campsite. Enter the campsite, passing the reception desk. Continue along the lake to the nautical base.
