A Stroll Around the Lac d'Allier

Despite the rainy and cloudy weather, Azra and I checked off an item on our Vichy bucket list and took the 5 km (3.1 miles) stroll around the Lac d'Allier --an artificial lake on the River Allier and popular spot for water sports. We started out in the Parc Napoléon III and headed north towards the Europe Bridge. On the other side of the lake, we passed the Omnisports center, Vichy golf course, Vichy Sporting Club, etc. We crossed the Bellerive Bridge and made our way back to our apartment. Along the way, we enjoyed the pleasant boardwalks, beautiful trees, and facinating wildlife. The map below shows our route (in purple). Azra's finger marks the location of our apartment on the Rue de Belgique.

Iako je dan bio kisovit, odlucile smo da prosetamo ako dijela rijeke Allier koja se zove Lac d'Allier (jezero Allier). Ovoj dio rijeke je jako popularan za vodene sportove, golf, setnju, voznju bicikla, itd. Staza za setnju je dugacka 5km. Vidi prilozenu kartu. Azrin prstic pokazuje gdje je nas stan.
