As idyllic as the 'Etang de Frouasse' appears to the viewer today, the body of water is by no means of natural origin. Its construction was driven by economic interests at the time, as the builders (according to 'Paul_C''s contribution, the Knights Templar, whose exact name was "Poor Knights of Christ and of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem") could use such a pond either for fish farming or to power mills.

The shaded rest area of Petit Orient, located on the edge of the Forêt d'Orient lake, is a true haven of peace. Surrounded by tall trees, this relaxation area offers a soothing view of the calm waters of the lake and the surrounding nature. Perfect for a break after a bike ride, this place invites contemplation and serenity. The aquatic birds, typical of the nature reserve, add a touch of wild beauty to the place.

Very beautiful Vélovoie which connects the outskirts of the Troyes conurbation to the Lacs de la Forêt d’Orient over 44km 🚴🏽♂️ It has two parallel paths: the Vélovoie, for cyclists and rollerbladers, with a very smooth and clean bitumen surface, and, in parallel, a gravel path, for pedestrians and horse riders 👍🏽

From here you have stunning views of both sides of the lake. A beautiful stretch to walk that gives you the impression of being in the middle of the lake.
