Look out over the marsh… Midway along the route, you'll find this wooden viewing platform. It offers a beautiful view of the rare alkaline peat bog, a unique wetland teeming with unique plants and birds. It's the perfect spot to pause for a moment, grab your binoculars, and experience the landscape from a different perspective (without disturbing the fragile area itself).

Bourges' city beach… On the north side of the lake lies a surprising city beach. In summer, there's supervised swimming, playground equipment, and a grassy area with benches and tables for picnics and barbecues. The walking path offers beautiful views of the water with the city in the background. A perfect spot for a break, a dip, or just relaxing with your feet in the sand.

Much more than a city lake... This large lake appears to be a nature reserve, but it was artificially created in the 1970s as a water buffer and recreation area for Bourges. It has since grown into a green oasis where you can spot a surprising number of migratory birds. An added bonus: in summer, concerts and events are regularly held around the lake.

Walking around Lake Auron is one of the locals' favorite activities. With its 5.5 km circumference, it is an ideal loop for family walks as well as for experienced athletes. Connected to the city center by the green ring road, whether walking, running or cycling, the layout is suitable for all styles of walks. It is not uncommon to come across migratory birds that have taken up residence on the island on your way. The geese and ducks have their own beach, not shy, they will welcome you.
