Chapel and the Saints (approx 1/2 hour) . . .

Leave the house and turn right along road.

Stay on road until you reach a house on your left. Opposite is a little gate with a sign to the chapel and saints.

Go through the gate and up the hill, past the chateau till you reach the chapel with its small graveyard. The family that used to own La Plaine house are buried there.

Continue to the top of the hill and you will eventually reach the statues of the two saints. There is a fantastic view of the lake, the hills opposite, St André town and La Plaine from here. The two saints (Peter and Paul) used to be at the old entrance to the town then, when the lavender fields were flooded to create the lake, the statues were moved up to the top of this hill.

From the brow of the hill, facing the lake, bear off to the right down the hill towards the trees (La Plaine will be on your right). There isn't a set path here but head down towards the woods alongside the lake and you will pick up a path towards the bottom. (Do not climb down towards the lake edge or you will have a struggle to get back up!)

Follow the path which will bear round to the right and will eventually come out right alongside the lake. Cross over the stream that feeds into the lake and up the hill the other side to La Plaine.
