Saddle up and explore the shores of Lac du Jaunay!

BOUCLE N°2 – L’AIGUILLON SUR VIE

Things to see and do along the way:
- Notre Dame church (19th century), fully restored
- Picturesque neighbourhoods: fountain and communal wash-house

At the junction, turn right. Carefully merge onto the main road. After 500 m, turn right and enjoy the peace and quiet of the small roads. After 1.6 km, turn left and, after crossing the small wood, turn right and pedal carefully along the D 42 for 600 m. Then turn right and let the road guide you to Lac du Jaunay. Be careful to turn left at the sign. After a beautiful crossing under the foliage of the trees, slow down as you approach the path that runs alongside the lake.

You're now in the heart of the Lac du Jaunay, and whether you turn left or right, the panorama will not fail to seduce you with its authenticity. Between the wooded areas and the lake, it's easy to feel like you're somewhere else. After a short technical section, head up the path to reach the main road. Turn left and avoid the long climb to enjoy a completely different view of Lac du Jaunay. After a few moments, the water gives way to fields and wide open spaces. Continue on your way to the next junction.

Then cross the main road and take the small path opposite. Once you're back on the tarmac, go straight on and then take the first turning on the left. After 1.3 km, cross the road and take the white path opposite you. Pedal for just over a kilometre through a wooded area, then turn left and then right. The route then invites you to spy discreetly on the greens of the Fontenelles golf course, while the vegetation provides a soothing atmosphere. Luckily, the beautiful view continues for 2.5 km.
