Guides from H... In September, the botanical trail around Villefranche‑de‑Panat lake shows autumn colours: gold, copper and burgundy. Visitors can see ferns and asters. Guides from Hameau des Lacs, who know the local flora well, point out wild orchids growing on the damp rocks. Information boards along the path explain the plants, such as the chestnut tree. The route has several viewpoints over the lake, useful for photography. After several kilometres, a clearing offers a place for a tea break. Hameau des Lacs offers tents and cabins for resting afterwards. In the evening, the site offers a gentle yoga session facing the sunset over the water. Check our availability and opening periods on the website to plan your stay.
