LAC DE MONTAUBRY
Read moreFor a peaceful stopover between two days of sightseeing, visit Lac de Montaubry, located near Le Creusot, in the commune of Le Breuil. This vast, winding lake with its sandy beaches is very bucolic and wooded. It's a popular spot for bathing (supervised from time to time at Plage des Patins), fishing from the shore or from a boat, as well as more sporting activities such as paddle-boarding, windsurfing and water-skiing. A wild and friendly place to unwind.
ÉTANG DU GRIOTTIER-BLANC
Read moreIn the middle of the forêt au Duc, the eight-hectare shallow Griottier-Blanc pond is home to a population of salmonids, farios and bows. Only fly-fishing is permitted. It's an unspoilt place where peace reigns, where the murmur of the water joins the silence of the forest. The site also offers a pleasant setting for a bucolic stroll or for cooling off in summer. This pleasant stretch of water in the middle of the forest is an ideal destination for a day out with the family, or a late afternoon romantic getaway to enjoy the setting sun.
PLAGE DU GRAND LAC
Read moreThe Great Lake Clairvaux-les-Lacs beach has an asset that differentiates it from others: a dive, at the end of the pier. Only 4 on-site diving sites exist in France! In 1945, the construction of the jetty was begun to create improvised swimming facilities for sports structures. In 1948 a dive on the pier by the commune was prepared. In 1997, the structure was consolidated with metal structures with today 3 supermounted fountains in platforms (3 m, 5 m, and 7.50 m). A rescue station is located nearby. A beach chair for disabled guests is available. The waters of the Grand Lake and the fine sandy beach are the ideal place for a summer stop in complete safety: the site is well maintained and bathing is monitored. It is possible to sail, rent a canoe, a mountain bike… Playground, children's games, picnic area, snack and restaurant, everything is planned for a pleasant day.
