Nautical activities at Lac du Jaunay

No need to go to the coast to practice water sports! Our 114 hectare Lac du Jaunay stretches out its waves to enthusiasts of canoe, pedal boat and paddle.

You will be surprised by the beauty of this preserved natural area, a real nugget from the Pays des Achards. Accompanied by whitish morning mists for early risers, orange gleams for night owls, its waters reflect the wooded slopes that surround them and which constantly change face over the four seasons.

Good to know

• If you have your own boat (canoe, kayak, paddle, sail, etc.), a hold at the Shoulder belt and at the meadow will allow you to put it in the water.
• Boats with internal combustion engines are prohibited on the entire lake.
• Swimming is also prohibited since it is a drinking water supply.

A rejuvenating trip to the heart of nature where the flora and fauna will amaze you!
