To get to the pond, park at the Maison de l'Oiseau et du Poisson, near the roundabout at the Chantecoq site. Then take the trail that leads to the ponds.

After 500 metres, take the path on the right towards the Observatoire de l’Étang des Landres and go through the little wood as far as a meadow on the left. To get to the Observatory, you have to follow the trail that goes along the edge of the forest towards the pond as far as the bridge.
