Tips from the Community
Please note that ... from June to August access is subject to a fee! (Only if you arrive via the main entrance). Whether you are on a bike or on foot, for a short trip to Ste Croix, you will have to pay 5 euros to pass ... (even if you don't swim, don't go to the "guinguette", etc ...). In short ... prefer another nearby passage, or come back off-season.

Adorable little lake where it's good to have a picnic and swim before getting back on the road!

A really nice spot to take a break, there are several stone tables, well shaded by the oak trees.

Quite stony tracks, on gravel it's a bit bumpy, but very nice and allows you to leave the Montpellier urban area through the forest.
