This is where the de Gaulles are buried. Charles de Gaulle's grave lies between the large memorial/museum and the La Boisserie residence, so it's easily accessible on the way from one to the other.

Unfortunately, the path was blocked by a barrier at this point. A bike wouldn't fit next to it. Perhaps we were there at the wrong time, but we had to take the bumpy path back to the intersection. From there, the path is well-maintained and it's a straight line—you can't go wrong.

As idyllic as the 'Etang de Frouasse' appears to the viewer today, the body of water is by no means of natural origin. Its construction was driven by economic interests at the time, as the builders (according to 'Paul_C''s contribution, the Knights Templar, whose exact name was "Poor Knights of Christ and of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem") could use such a pond either for fish farming or to power mills.
