Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise

πŸŒ‹"former volcano (which actually is two lakes superimposed)"
πŸ‘ŸOne side is dry, the other muddy with roots
πŸ•Fences don't cover everything, keep pups close

A volcanic crater holds this impossibly blue lake, ringed by beech and fir forests and an easy hour-long trail. Bring the dog, wear decent shoes, and watch for muddy patches after rain.
