1. Follow the path to the right below the road and reach the head of the  PETIT MACLU LAKE. Take the good stony path which successively runs along the lakes of Petit Maclu and Grand Maclu then which, after a small forest sector, comes out at the edge of Lake Ilay before joining the Lake Road.
2. Continue right along the path (white-red marking) to Lake Ilay.
3. (If you wish to reduce the circuit to only go around the three lakes, turn right to join the Chemin des Bornes then Mont des yews.) From the crossroads Lake Ilay, carefully cross the D 75 road to follow a wooded path which leads to the hamlet of DAIRY.
4. Take right (yellow marking) a long wooded path lined with hedges which joins Raffour then on the right the village THE FRASNOIS.
5. Turn left. The Chemin de la Virginie runs along the back of the village to find the D 75 road on the right.
6. Take the road on the left, go past the church and the town hall to find the road which leads to Lake Narlay.
   
7. At the crossroads Towards Narlay, continue the road to the left, and reach the houses at the bottom of the hamlet. Follow the stone path which goes around the lake on the left. The path goes up to the parking lot of the Monts des Yews.
   

Be careful when crossing roads, especially when leaving to reach the Mont des Ifs crossroads and the D 75 at Lake Ilay.

Wetlands and lakes are preserved and fragile natural spaces. Please do not leave the marked trails and respect the tranquility of the area.

Cows and horses maintain the wetlands around the 4 lakes and change parks during the season. These animals are very hardy: do not try to approach them or feed them, this could harm their health and your safety.
 
Wildflowers are beautiful, they can be rare and protected and often wilt quickly. Don't pick them! They will delight future hikers.

Please keep your dog on a leash if you have one.
