The start of the circuit is shared with FFCT n°1 "Tour du plan d'eau", just before the D3B turn right and pass the Etang des Pilles.

Etang des Pilles: private lake, day fishing pass for sale - Picnic area

After the pond, leave the D3B and head for Treffort, an ancient fortified village whose remains are still very much in evidence. Perched on its hilltop, it has a proud appearance with its castle. In the Middle Ages, before the territory became part of the kingdom of France, the town was fortified with at least six gates and over thirty towers.

Vines have also left their mark on this village, and numerous cellars run beneath the streets and houses of the "cavets". Take advantage of your visit to discover the local Comté.

You'll pass by the 14th-century Halles and the church. Stroll through this village and you'll discover fountains, cobbled and grassy streets, traboules and beautiful facades.

Find out more about this village on the Tourist Office website.

Go back down to the north of the village and catch up with the coastal pastures. After crossing the D3B towards Cuisiat, turn left towards the lake.
