Tour du lac de bouzey route

Thanks to the Club Vosgien for the creation of this hike and for the work done by its teams throughout the year to mark out and maintain these paths. A beautiful walk without difficulty that will take you around the lake. Marking: blue ring 7km Take the gravel path along the car park towards the forest. At the edge of the forest, turn right, then immediately left to follow the marked path (blue cross) which follows the pond dam, at the end of which the Conservatoire des Sites Lorrains has installed an information panel. Take the time to walk along the educational trail to discover the environment, fauna and flora of this pond. At the end of the dam, turn right onto the marked path (red disc and blue cross) to reach a gravel path which leads you straight to the shore of the Bouzey Lake. At the end of the forest, after passing an information panel, cross the tarmac road, follow on the right the marked path (blue disc and green solid disc) along the lake, pass on the dam and take on the left the tarmac road between the houses. Continue along this small road along the lake without worrying about the streets that go off to the right. Always following the signs (blue disc), you pass over a bridge that crosses the end of the lake. The tarmac road climbs towards the forest. Once you have reached the top of the hill, you leave it and turn right onto a marked dirt track (blue disc and solid blue disc) which runs through the forest for 1.3 km. The marked path (blue disc) leads you along the lake to the starting point. Following the road straight ahead, you will reach the car park at the start of the walk. Marking: blue ring

Source de l’aviere route

Thanks to the Club Vosgien for the creation of this hike and for the work done by its teams throughout the year to mark out and maintain these paths. From the car park, go through the barrier towards a shelter. Just before arriving there, take the marked path on your left (+ of red colour) which crosses a small arboretum to join a stone path while skirting the forest. Turn left and follow the markings (red circle and red cross), which will take you through the forest and then across the fields to cross the Mauverois stream. You then come to a tarmac road near a calvary. Take the road to the right for 300 m and turn left to enter the forest again on a marked forest track (red circle and red cross). Some 200 m further on, pass the Fontaine de la Couleuvre and continue on the dirt track to climb towards a roundabout. Follow the marked track (red circle) to the left for just over 100 m and turn right onto the dirt track which goes alongside the fields a little further on. When you reach a small house, turn left to get to the D51, which you cross to arrive at the left of a shed, following the marked path (red circle). This path, which goes alongside fields and forest, leads you to a small tarmac road at the place called Censes des Lois. Go up to the left on the road to arrive near the forest house of Avière. Opposite this house, take the marked path (red circle and red cross) and leave on your right a marked path (red cross). After passing a pond, you get to a gravel path which you follow to the left for almost 300 m. Turn right onto the path that leads to the Avière spring, nestled at the foot of a cirque-shaped valley with a majestic beech forest. Enjoy this magnificent setting for a few moments, since you will have to go up to the left opposite the spring on the winding, marked out path (red circle). Follow the path, leaving a track on your right halfway up the slope and then, further on, a track on your left. Off the trail, the bravest can make a round trip (marked with a red triangle) to the stele commemorating the fall of an allied plane during the bombing in 1944. At the top you come to a forest road. Turn left, cross the road to join the circuit 100 m further on the left which will take you back to the starting point.

He gave his house to the town of Arlon on the condition they make a museum of it, dedicated to his brother's work and that put into honour the history and the heritage of Arlon. At the first floor, theree are two restored salons identical to a middle-class salon from the early 20th century that show Jean-Marie Gaspar's sculptures. and the art and picture collection of Charles Gaspar.

THE BOUZEY LAKE
11 km

THE BOUZEY LAKE

Bouzey Lake - A natural setting only a stone's throw from the city of Epinal, the Bouzey Lake is a multi-faceted destination/site, ideal for relaxing and clearing your head. Its green surroundings offer a total change of scenery and it is the perfect place to practice various sports and leisure activities. An immersion in the heart of idyllic landscapes - for exercising, swimming or simply sunbathe on the beach! Historically, the Bouzey Lake is an artificial reservoir which supplies Vosges Canal yet it has undeniable ecological qualities because a remarkable ecosystem has developed there! Numerous animals have taken up residence in this bucolic setting: birds such as swans, mallards, coots and other species such as the muskrat or the garter snake. Nature enthusiasts will be delighted: there are many surprises and delicious discoveries along the way. Near the lake is the Etang de la Comtesse peat bog, a protected natural area where flora and fauna flourish. Breathe in peace and quiet in a protected natural setting, during a leisurely walk, a morning jog or a family outing. You can walk around the lake in 1.5 hours, using the 7 km of footpaths for pedestrians. Lovers of water sports, land sports and fishing will not be left out, since many activities are offered around the lake, depending on the season: pedal boats or sailboats for sailing on the water, safe cycling around the lake, supervised swimming during the summer period, jogging along the banks to stretch your legs... Handicapped fishing pontoons have also been specially fitted out for fishermen with reduced mobility. Several picnic tables are also set up around the lake, so that on warm summer evenings you can take a gourmet break while enjoying the magnificent sunsets. The Bouzey Lake is a place accessible to all, for a sporting interlude or to recharge your batteries at the water's edge. A bit of history: the reservoir was created in 1882, to supply the Vosges Canal, a working tool for Voies Navigables de France. In April 1895, the dam broke, with tragic consequences. A monument on the banks of the lake, on the side of the dam, recalls this sad event. Anecdote: the Bouzey Lake is the largest lake in the Vosges, ahead of the lake of Gérardmer! At its full level, the lake covers 140 hectares, against 116 for the lake of Gérardmer.
