Every time I come here, I’m stunned by how beautiful and well maintained this little lake is. It’s clear that many people treasure this little hidden gem of our region.
On the little hill behind the lake you will also find paths lined with wooden gym equipment, available for free for everyone.
The commune of Cessy has created a rather big car park and you will find benches, picnic tables and barbeques, making this an ideal outing on a nice summer day. Being in France you will of course also be able to play Petanque on the two lanes created especially for this activity.
The walk around the small lake is only 700 meters but feels much longer because you will be busy looking at the flowers and bird life. Being surrounded by the Jura mountains on one side and the Alps on the other is also adding to the beauty of this site.
For small children this is a true paradise with so much to see and do. They will quickly forget complaining about being tired.
If you look closely you will see several big rocks. These were probably transported here all the way from Martigny in Switzerland by the ice thousands of years ago, when glaciers ruled this part of Europe.
If you think walking 700 meters is not enough, you should stroll up the little hill and make use of the sports equipment you find along the route.
Finally, if you have purchased a fishing licence (www.cartedepeche.fr), you could try catching a carpe, pike or any of the other species found in the lake.
Happy walking, and feel free to share!
