For the first time all year, the ocean is warm enough for swimming. This opens up a range of summertime activities on the lovely beaches for all types of visitors.

The Lac de la Cavayere will now be available. A stroll around the lake takes about an hour, in which time you can take in the carefully maintained habitats. There is an island in the middle of the lake specially designed for the indigenous aquatic birds.
