The second half of the hike goes through Morangiès, the Base Nautique, to the dam that was built in 1964 after a flood that hit the village of Bayard.

Villefort lake.
The first part goes along the uninhabited side of the lake and gives you beautiful views of the lake. On the north side of the lake is a beautiful bridge and here and there you can pick up something from the many chestnuts that were planted here to feed the poor population. The way back has a completely different character, just beyond the base nautique on the plage de Villefort you can even take a refreshing dip. You go back over the dam to the starting point.
