Water sports Normandy

Just 30 minutes from Rouen, this beautiful leisure park is ideal for walks, sports and swimming. Around the Mesnil and Deux-Amants lakes, you'll find a waterski lift, canoe, catamaran or paddle, 18-hole golf course, pétanque, table tennis... For lunch, there's a picnic area where barbecues are tolerated; otherwise, Le Nautic brasserie offers a choice of dishes. New features include a brand-new 18-hole mini golf course and a pentagliss open in summer!

Lake Caniel is a site for the whole family. On this 70-hectare leisure base, you will have access to many activities: water skiing, skate park, summer tobogganing, kayaking and pedal boats. On the northern part of the lake, the ski lift allows the novices to have fun while the confirmed ones do a demonstration of aerial tricks. On the mainland, the site offers an indoor play area with bowling and billiards. Allow a full day to enjoy everything. On site, there are a variety of food and beverage options. Ideal for a relaxing afternoon.

8 km from Vire, a 43 ha lake (swimming prohibited) for fishing and water sports activities. These are offered from March to November by the leisure centre: windsurfing, catamaran, rowing, kayaking, pedal boats and paddleboard... Ask for information at the MJC of Vire. Also on site, several hiking trails, including a 6 km trail that allows you to walk around the lake, as well as a 10 ha bird sanctuary that allows you to observe no less than 86 species of animals (ducks, coots, snipes, grebes...). Let's go green!

The construction of the dam in 1959 enabled the emergence of this environmentally-friendly artificial lake. Bordered by pretty little villages (such as Les Rotours), ideal for bike rides, and by the Gorges de Saint-Aubert, accessible via the sentier du Vieux Saint-Aubert, the site is remarkable. The lake, 6 km long and crossed by a bridge, is a delight for canoeists and water-skiers. Its shores are particularly popular with families, with swimming available in summer. Swimming is supervised and free of charge.

Whether you're a novice or an experienced sailor, young or old, there's no place more open to your passion for water sports (and no better location either!) than the Coutainville Sailing Club. The club offers a wide range of water sports, including catamaran sailing, windsurfing, and sand yachting, all of which are available for hire or private tuition. Our favourites include stand-up paddling and water walking!

These two ponds, fed by the Bief des Quatre Moulins, are located to the south of the town. Surrounded by greenery, including vast grassy areas, it's a popular place for families to stroll, with plenty of games for children and a mini-golf course. From mid-July, the town council is installing an inflatable sports field where you can play beach soccer, beach volleyball and sandball, in other words, beach soccer, volleyball and handball. Pets are welcome.
