Discover this protected area by canoe, paddle, aqua stepper or boat without a licence, for trips with the Canigou as a backdrop

L'Ile aux Loisirs is a space dedicated to exploring and discovering the Etang de Salses-Leucate. Dominique Thibaut, founder of the Lac Marin association, is reviving the memory of Henry de Monfreid, another tireless traveller and modern-day adventurer. The adventure began in 1998 on a small beach on the Etang de Leucate. Dominique fell in love with the place and built a barraca, the traditional fisherman's house made of sanils (reeds). Little by little, school groups, the curious and CEs come to take part in the organized visits and workshops: discovering the ecosystem, fishing on foot, building... Dominique is passionate about his work; he lives his words and has the gift of thrilling you. 25 years later, on Leucate's most eco-friendly spot and certainly one of the best on the lake, he has succeeded in combining environmental awareness and water sports activities. Numerous educational projects are carried out with schools, including the famous pedal-boat treasure hunt in the lagoon. And for the fun and sport aspect, there's nothing like discovering this protected area by canoe, paddle, pedalo, aqua stepper or boat without a license. Unforgettable walks with the Canigou as a backdrop! Last but not least, the icing on the cake is the waterside guinguette, set up on stilts: an oasis of serenity, a little organic and artistic, with its alcoves, intimate spaces and delicious cocktails and tapas that you can enjoy while watching the sunset. Few places have moved us so!

Endroit idyllique pour passer une journée en famille. Nous avons loué un pédalo toboggan pour explorer le lac marin puis nous avons mangé au restaurant "La sardine" et tout était parfait ! Les plats que nous avons pris étaient tous délicieux, j'ai rarement mangé de moules aussi savoureuses (la sauce est à tomber par terre), les aubergines au paprika étaient également excellentes. Bravo au chef cuistot ! Par ailleurs, le cadre est paradisiaque et le personnel est adorable !

Nous sommes venu ce matin en famille avant l’orage !
Nous avons eu le temps de profiter d’heure de pédalo au vu de la météo qui s’annoncé mais une chose est sûr nous reviendrons.
Pour y passer plus de temps.
Et tester le restaurant et d’autres prestations (paddle, canoë)
Car le cadre est magnifique, la propriétaire et l’équipe qui y travaillent sont très gentils.
Vraiment un super moment ????
