Hard hike. Very good fitness required. Mostly accessible paths. Sure-footedness required. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Route along the Mère River in the Mervent-Vouvant Forest

Highlight • River

Pretty shaded road which crosses the national forest of Mervent-Vouvant. It runs alongside then crosses the Mother which brings a welcome freshness in summer.

Take the right path!

Highlight • Other

The waterfront path I took is crowded and difficult. Only for experienced and motivated hikers. You'll want to turn back, but you'll be proud of yourself if you successfully cross this path. And the dam offers unique views.

Mervent Dam

Highlight • Lake

Both a place of natural beauty and a lair of James Bond villains, this place is nothing short of spectacular.
