Balade à Roulettes n° 25 Le petit lac du Gabas à Eslourenties-Daban

Take the path alongside the car park down to the small lake. This lake upstream of Lake Gabas is at a constant level, while the large lake is used for low-water and irrigation. No-kill fishing is permitted. Stunning view of the Pyrenees mountain range. Chicane at the start and finish. The path is well marked, the ground is hard with a grassy strip in the middle; there are a few uneven areas. On the right bank, the path runs alongside a wooded hillside. A footbridge spans the upper end of the lake, an area of birdwatching and tranquillity. The left bank is bordered by fields. There is no difference in level. There are numerous benches throughout this section. Reach the Péré mill, recently restored by the Luquet commune. Rejoin the road. Stay behind the guardrail and return to the car park.

Rive droite, le chemin longe un coteau boisé. Une passerelle enjambe la pointe amont du lac, zone d’observation des oiseaux et de quiétude. La rive gauche est bordée par des champs. Elle est sans dénivelée. Nombreux bancs répartis dans cette section.

Arriver au moulin de Péré récemment restauré par la commune de Luquet. Rejoindre la route. En restant derrière la glissière de sécurité, regagner le parking.
