The Triouzoune lake
Our cottage is situated next to the Triouzoune lake, also known as “the lake of Neuvic”. This lake or reservoir is about 410 hectares and offers a wide variety of leisure activities.
During the summer months there are 2 supervised swimming areas. Here you can find multiple bouncing castles floating on the surface of the water.
The more active ones amongst you can hire a canoe, a kayak, or water bicycle.
If you prefer something more speedy, you will find opportunities to water ski and jet ski, you can hire a motorboat, or you can surf and sail. There's even a sailing school.
