1/ From the parking lot, drive past the post office, take rue du Pitou and continue straight ahead along the street and the gîte square towards route de Carmaux. Just before the road, turn right between two houses, then turn left along a low wall at the point where the path runs flat, then right on the road for 150 m.
2/ In the forest, fork right onto the downhill path. At the stream, take a 50 m detour to the left to see the Moulin du Bruel waterfall. Retrace your steps and follow the path alongside the stream, then up through La Pradarerie and Le Suc to reach the D612. Turn right towards Rieupeyroux.
3/ After the secondary school, turn right onto a path that leads down to the lake and around the lake, passing under the vacation village. At the end of the loop, on the edge of the lake, the path crosses a picnic area near the Saint-Martial fountain and arboretum (above). Return to the D612, turn right and walk up rue du Balat to the parking lot on your left.
