Hiking
Nice little climb after a quiet start from PELLAUD along the right bank of the torrent to the Bénévolo refuge.
After this refuge there are two trails to reach the two lakes the longest is the more rural (so the one on the left with your back to the refuge) the one on the right is a little sharp, a little too much for children, especially downhill, but the show at the top is superb. Lots of waterfalls along the way.

It is a fairly easy retreat to reach at the end of a beautiful valley. The refuge itself is in a nice area, reachable by a nice gravel trail
