The Pavin lake in Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise where the legend tells that the smallest pebble thrown in it triggers impetuous storms.

According to the legend, Satan would have filled it and it would be the door of hell. Its name comes from the Latin pavens, which means frightful.

We arrived at the top, side of Estivadoux and started the walk by the descent, right side, quite steep (I have the verge and is not necessarily very objective! My son found it very easy!) However, the view is beautiful, the color of the water changes depending on where we look at it. Coming down, a lot of people (restaurant) but we went on walking to finish the tour of the lake on a more practicable path! To see, to do and to see!

C’est ancien volcan est le lieu idéal pour une balade, pratiquer des activités nautiques tel que le pédalo.
Les amoureux de tranquillité trouveront un grand plaisir à s’y promener.

Petite ballade très simple de moins d'une heure autour du lac Pavin.
Le terrain y est bien aménagé.
Pas de dénivelé.
