Behind the road is the large Camping Municipal. There is a hotel with a bistro on the beach in front of the street. The other stands for crepes, fries, etc. were still closed in June. Even further west is a large picnic area in the forest. The beach is also monitored during the summer holiday season. You can rent treet boats. The water is not too cold. A beautiful, quiet, large lake for swimming.

From the 1890s, the tower fell into disrepair, covered with vegetation. It was first built in the 11th century. The tower was finally saved by a restoration in 2004, when several waves of works were scheduled to save the tower from ruin.

A pond reserved for fishing (there are apparently beautiful carp). The road that runs along the shore through the woods is very pleasant.
