Recreational lake at FranceComfort - Etang Vallier holiday park

The recreational lake at FranceComfort - Etang Vallier forms the lively heart of the holiday park. On summer days there is activity around the water all day long. Some swim their laps in the lake early in the morning, while others enjoy the sun on the beach later in the day. At the end of the afternoon, when holidaymakers return from a trip in the region, it gets pleasantly busy by the water. In the evening the calm slowly returns and you can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. In Southwest France, temperatures in summer can rise considerably. A recreational lake within walking distance of your holiday home is then a great advantage during your holiday.

Swimming, paddleboarding and relaxing by the water

On warm summer days this is a lovely spot to relax, swim or enjoy outdoor life together with the family. The medium-sized lake offers plenty of space for both those seeking relaxation and active holidaymakers. Take a refreshing dip in the clear water, float around on an air mattress or explore the lake with a rowing boat or SUP board. Thanks to the spacious layout, there is plenty of room to swim, paddleboard, boat and relax.

Clean, flowing water

A major advantage of the recreational lake is the excellent water quality. The water is regularly checked and is also constantly moving. On one side, water flows into the lake from a stream, while it flows out again on the other side. As a result, the water is continuously refreshed, contributing to a clean and pleasant swimming lake.

Beach and play fun for children

Along the bank lies a sandy beach where you can sunbathe while the children enjoy themselves with buckets, spades and sandcastles. The beach slopes gently into the water and forms a great spot to spend a relaxing holiday day together. Children can play to their heart’s content in the sand, look for nice pebbles along the bank or splash about at the water’s edge.

There is always something for children to do. While they play in the sand or at the water’s edge, parents can enjoy the peace, the view and the relaxed holiday atmosphere. Thanks to the spacious layout of the beach, everyone can easily find their own spot in the sun or in the shade. This makes the recreational lake a popular meeting place for families during the holidays.

Sporting activities on the beach

The beach is also a great spot for sporting activities. Play a game of beach football or beach volleyball, challenge family or friends to a game of jeu de boules, or organise other fun beach games together. Thanks to the space around the lake, there is plenty of opportunity to be active.

Terrace by the water

Right by the lake is a pleasant bar where you can get coffee, soft drinks, ice cream and small snacks. On the terrace you can enjoy a drink, an ice cream or a simple meal with a view over the water and the beach. While the children play or swim, you can relax here. The terrace is also a great spot to relax after an active day full of trips and holiday fun.

Holiday homes with a view of the lake

The recreational lake lies centrally in the holiday park. From the water, the terrain rises gradually towards the holiday homes built against the gentle slope. As a result, several holiday homes have a beautiful view over the lake and the green surroundings. From the terrace you can see the water glistening in the sun and enjoy the peace, the space and the relaxed holiday atmosphere.

Supervision and safety at the recreational lake

There is no lifeguard at the recreational lake. Parents and carers are themselves responsible for supervising their children. We advise parents to never let young children play in or around the water without supervision. Children who cannot yet swim well should always use suitable armbands or other flotation aids. Regularly check where your children are and make sure you can always see them clearly when they are playing in or near the water. On sunny days, it is also wise to regularly apply sunscreen to children and make sure they drink enough. This way everyone can safely enjoy a relaxing day at the lake.
