Water sports Moselle

Want to get away from it all without leaving the city? Metz's 5.4-hectare lake is perfect. Stroll, cycle or rollerblade around it, and don't forget to stop for a photo in front of the torii, the Japanese gate, with the Cathedral in the background. Bordered by green spaces, it's an ideal place to relax with family or friends. And don't miss a trip to the marina, where you can hire boats - pedal or electric - and take a trip on the Moselle River.

Accessible only to pedestrians or cyclists to ensure peace and quiet, there are playgrounds and several relaxation areas. It is an ideal place for families, especially since it is possible to access it with a stroller. For the pleasures of water, it is possible to rent a "pedal boat" (from 2 to 6 seats) or a classic pedal boat to sail on the lake where swimming is prohibited. You can also go for a walk in the surrounding forest in a gyro-pod! Practical: a small restaurant is regularly open at the galleon.

An ideal site for fishing, the pond also offers peaceful spots and walking trails for observing the flora and fauna. The Langatte leisure park is a lively place, with a beach for swimming and sporting activities in summer, including paddleboating, pedal boating, canoeing, kayaking and a waterslide. It's also possible to enjoy the surrounding nature on a boat or while fishing on the pond. In July and August, guests can enjoy Langatte Summer, a program of evening entertainment including games, dances and DJs. Electric bikes and mountain bikes for hire.

The Etang de Gondrexange covers an area of 700 hectares, rich in biodiversity. Numerous activities have developed around the pond, including hiking, cycling, mountain biking and nature observation. Created by fish-farming monks in the Middle Ages, the pond is also a popular fishing spot for connoisseurs who come to track pike-perch, pike, carp and perch. A sailing, diving and underwater sports club has recently opened. For swimming, which is subject to strict regulations, contact the town hall.

Enigma tour around the Gondrexange pond, available online from Randoland or from the Sarrebourg tourist office. A fun family walk of 5.1 km (2h30), with different riddles for 5-9 year olds, based on fishing, and for over 10 year olds on the ornithological wealth of the site.

This multi-purpose complex revolves around a 250-hectare artificial pond that regulates the level of the Sarre canal. It owes its nickname of Lac Vert (Green Lake) to its wooded setting and the reflection of the trees in the water. On the land side, you can play tennis, soccer, basketball and archery, among other activities, thanks to the many facilities on offer and an indoor multi-sport complex, and even relax on the landscaped beach. On the beach side, you'll find a wide range of services, including children's play areas, a beach volleyball court, restaurants, an ice-cream parlour, a relaxation area and a summer stage for entertainment and concerts, all worthy of a real seaside resort. On the lake side, there's a wealth of activities including sailing, water-skiing, canoeing, catamaraning, paddle-boating and even an inflatable structure on the water to delight children. Swimming is supervised in summer. Numerous events take place on the site, including the Triathlon and other summer activities. The leisure park also offers a full range of accommodation for campers, motor-home users, families (chalets) and groups/holiday camps, thanks to the Centre Nature et Sport, equipped with group accommodation and qualified staff to welcome children. Bikes and electric bikes for hire.
