A vast artificial lake of 18 ha in the middle of 40 ha of Mediterranean essences which, over the years, has become not only the "beach of Carcassonne" but also a place for walks and leisure activities. At the gates of the Cité, it offers all the pleasures of an aquatic area - 3 supervised beaches - and much more: the Aquaviva Park with its inflated and floating structures and, new for 2015, a water ski lift for wakeboarding, kneeboarding, wakeskating or water skiing. The surroundings of the lake have been designed and laid out to satisfy all your desires for "nature" leisure and relaxation. Apart from these numerous water attractions - all but the motorized activities - the setting in which it is located is conducive to the practice of multiple sports activities adapted to all ages, which you can interrupt with a picnic in one of the areas provided for this purpose. So, on foot, by bike, on horseback or even by pedal boat (in summer), the Cavayère lake is the ideal place, in all seasons, to get some fresh air, move around, play beach volleyball, take on the accrobranches course (O² Aventures), take a dip or even observe the life of "L'Ile aux oiseaux" which is in the centre of the lake. Then, according to your wishes of the moment, in the shade or in the sun, in summer or in winter... it's up to you!
