The shaded rest area of Petit Orient, located on the edge of the Forêt d'Orient lake, is a true haven of peace. Surrounded by tall trees, this relaxation area offers a soothing view of the calm waters of the lake and the surrounding nature.

The loop is over. Nice trip.
Be careful, the crossing of Mesnil st Père and Géraudot is not done on its own site.

A varied tour on easily passable paths around the Lac d'Orient.

The lake was built in the 60s. It is connected to the Seine near Troyes via a canal and serves to balance the water in order to keep the Seine navigable even at low levels. Today it is a popular leisure region.

On the north bank, as well as in the upper area of the east bank, the profile is significantly more wavy than I expected when circumnavigating the lake. The constant up and down is easy to see in the height profile.
As on many Velovoies in France, the road surface is very good.
