A beautiful local recreation area for hiking, swimming, and other recreational activities. The path around the lake is more suitable for hiking than cycling. We still managed it, though.

A very beautiful circular route around Lac de la Liez, whether on foot or by bike.

This vast expanse of water of 290 ha allows the practice of many activities. If you have a sporty soul, a 16 km route even allows you to go around it on foot or by mountain bike.

easy place to walk, nice view mixed with nature

Originally, Lake Liez was called “Lecey dyke”. This is linked to the digging of the Marne-Saône canal. The Liez dam is 490 meters long and 16 meters high. It is the largest of the four feeding lakes of the upper reach of the canal between Champagne and Burgundy.

This is a forest area that covers part of the Mont Vengé plateau, a limestone formation that rises above the surrounding plains. The forest is composed mainly of oaks and hornbeams on the plateau and a mixed oak and beech forest on the slope. The forest is home to various species of birds, mammals, insects and plants, some of which are rare or protected. For example, there are the green woodpecker, the red-backed shrike, the hazel dormouse, the horseshoe bat and the swallow-tailed butterfly. The Bois de la Montagne forest in Changey is a magnificent and varied place to explore and enjoy.

The Mont Vengé plateau is a place where you can admire the statue of the Virgin Mary and benefit from panoramic views of the Marne valley and the town of Langres. Along the way, you will also pass two fortifications which highlight the military heritage of Langres in the 19th century. Depending on the season, you can also admire beautiful flowers and orchids on the dry lawns of Changey.

You can walk along the shore of the first of the three pools, dedicated to nature and water activities. You will enjoy the views of the lake and the village, and you may spot some of the migratory birds that frequent this preserved space. The Lac de Charmes circuit is an excellent option for your running.
