Between a corn field and a fishing pond in Lapeyrouse.

Participants

Expedition

I took the train from Lyon to Villars-les-Dombes and started walking towards the geohash. After exiting Villars-les-Dombes, I left the road and took a detour through the fields in order to avoid the traffic. On my way, I passed several ponds and pools. The Dombes area has a very impervious surface and more than 10% of it is therefore covered by water.

After walking 6 km, I reached the Étang Rollet pond. There, a large tourist sign informed me about:

  • its size: 26 hectares,
  • its age: more than 500 years,
  • and how to cook pike: with cream or court-bouillon, then served cold with mayonnaise.

The coordinates were 2 km further, in a small meadow between the pond and a corn field. After recording proof, I marched back to the train station. The sun was now in my back and intermittently lighting the autumn foliage trough the clouds. What a lovely day!
