Lac de Vésoles, Languedoc.

A lovely walk at Lacz the clouds lifted and the sun came out. 6.5km around the lake. marked yellow and an easy, level walk. It's a favourite of ours whatever the time of year. The lake is still at a low level of water but the views are beautiful both across the lake and down into the Jaur valley below.There are two car parking areas+ one a little further away near a pretty pond. We started at the middle car park, where you walk down to a picnic area in the beech trees. Turn left and follow the path around the lake through the trees. When the path reaches the stream, turn right onto a wide track to go around some buildings and then take a sharp right beside them. The path follows the beech trees around the lake with 3 more picnic areas in the trees. Finally you reach a wide track once again and take a right turn down to the dam. After the dam you can either go up to the viewpoint to see down into the valley below(from here you can extend the walk to 10km by continuing south over the hill, through the trees and on top the pond). or take a path on your right beside the lake that quickly returns to the car park. The walk takes around 2 hours, allow a little longer for a picnic halfway.
