Lac d'Aubusson

Impeccably laid out, top-notch maintenance👌 and an enchanting setting, this island of freshness on the Forez mountainside is an absolute must-see! The path that goes around the lake is fantastic: a succession of small wooden culverts, cool undergrowth and clearings offering superb views, you cycle there with constantly renewed pleasure.
