Note: walking is not recommended if you have luggage, due to hills along this path. If you have no luggage, this is a pleasant walk. Rather than take the Google-calculated path, you might rather follow Rue de Rosieres to Avenue du Lac to the lake and take the walking path. It's a pleasant stroll. |
