A remnant of the Ice Age, this lake inspires tranquillity, and its reed beds are home to a host of birdlife. A lovely place to relax.
Lac du Siguret is a pleasant little Gravel trail. Initially shaded by conifers, the landscape then opens out onto a welcoming plateau, the lake and Chapelle Saint-Roch. The rolling return journey takes in an old road and farm tracks overlooking the Durance.
