Enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere at Lac des bariousses despite the entry fees. The moderate 150m elevation gain makes it accessible for most fitness levels. Easy to find following signs from D939 to Saint-Pardoux-la-Rivière. The paid parking situation is clearly marked, and the lake setting provides nice photo opportunities throughout the route.

Decent trail around Lac des bariousses though the paid access might deter some visitors. The 150m elevation change provides good exercise without being too strenuous. Parking fees and entrance costs add up, but the Corrèze scenery is pleasant. Just remember no dogs allowed on this trail.

Beautiful lake setting with moderate elevation gain of 150m makes this a rewarding hike. The trail access from Saint-Pardoux-la-Rivière via D939 is well-marked, though paid parking and entrance fees apply. Worth noting that dogs aren't permitted, so plan accordingly. The lake views justify the modest investment.
