Water sports Nièvre

The Moulin de Tala fish farm, near Lac des Settons, is a trout fishing site with three themed lakes covering 3 hectares. In a bucolic setting, the facilities on offer enable you to spend a pleasant moment alone or with your family, whether you're an expert or a beginner (fishing initiation). What's more, a restaurant - reminiscent of a small guinguette - offers you the chance to spend a whole day by the ponds.

This vast plot of land with lawns and groves, stretching along the banks of the lake, formed by the Saint-Léger-des-Vignes dam reservoir, and adjoining the Promenade des Halles, is open on sunny days from May to the end of August. A beautiful green setting in the town, it is a paradise for children and their parents: miniature golf, giant chess board, children's games, boat hire, Aquatoons water playground, and a bar for refreshments or ice cream. In the shade of the trees, this place is ideal on hot summer days!

On the edge of the city centre, the Etang des Prés de la Ville is a very pleasant body of water whose tour extends over 1.03 km. In all seasons, the path around the pond is ideal for beautiful walks. Fishermen can also put down their rods and wait for it to bite. In July and August, swimming is supervised, so enjoy! Tables will welcome your picnics with family or friends in a bucolic setting. Note that the municipal campsite is next to the pond.

Many people go for a walk at the Niffond pond. For years, it has been a family outing not to be missed! A pleasant botanical path, a few hundred meters long, allows walkers to find in a small space all the tree species present in the Bois de la Brosse and the Bertranges forest. Mountain bike trails and horseback riding routes line the undergrowth. At the water's edge, tables invite you to picnic, and a playground awaits the children. A paradise at the gates of Nevers.

Neighbours of the Nivernais canal and participating in its feeding, these two artificial bodies of water extend over 275 ha and include an ornithological reserve rich in waterfowl species. The departmental base of Baye allows you to practice various activities. Sailing is privileged, for initiation as well as for improvement, with a school having the approval of the French Sailing School. You can also practice triak, a sail adapted for disabled people (handivoile).

What could be more pleasant than spending the day on the shores of Lake Settons frolicking in the water? This is what you can do with your family or friends at the Aquapark: a gigantic inflatable structure dressed in yellow and blue, floating on the calm waters of the lake, awaits you for endless obstacle courses. Equipped with life jackets to be on the safe side, you will be able to take on the slides, climbing walls and other giant trampolines for hours of fun!
