Plan d'eau du Riou Beach

This lake is great and offers a lot. There are about 12 parking spaces for campers. The water is fresh and not cold at all. It has a big play ground for kids. However, parents should not leave their kids unatended. The lake is quite deep. No watter how much you trust your kid's swimming skills, please keep your eyes on him or swim with him at all times. Kids underestimate dangerous situations.

This is a stunning place to relax and enjoy the fresh lake water. I visited in September 2021 and at the time there were half a dozen parking areas on the west side of the lake where signs indicated that you were allowed to camp for 48hrs. Each area is big enough for a motorhome and equipped with a bench and a waste bin. It was a perfect, tranquil break from driving. There is a snack bar on the oppisite side of the lake that serves good homemade food and the best burger and chips ever. Lovely spot - I often think about it!! Personal note: if you like my review or find it useful, please give it a thumbs up and check out my guidebooks at my website - simply google Secret Seeker.

Water not too clean, but that's probably due to the clay ground. It's a nice and wide open area with lots of shade places.

A magnificent nature souvenir by night and day! A beautiful space for kayaking, picnic space and even a BBQ even if the pitches are limited and the crowds quickly reach their peak in summer. Observing the starry sky and its Milky Way with the reflection of the lake is exceptional!

Very nice place for swimming, also pedal boats and a snack bar, but they were not yet available. Entrance is free.
