Large and beautiful lake in the Brenne nature park. Beautiful surroundings and lovely hiking trails with plenty of picnic tables for lunch, a lake for swimming or subboarding, a climbing park in the woods, and a restaurant. A wonderful spot!

It is very pleasant to cross the Brenne and its marshes by the paths: white or grassy tracks, some shaded.

Do not take the walk after a wet period. A large part of the paths is heavily flooded.

Settle into the shade of the trees at this picnic spot to eat your post-race protein or sit down for lunch at the lakeside "Le Bellebouche" restaurant and brasserie.
