Around the lake

There are 2 waterfront spots open from spring to autumn:

  • Le bar du chemin, is open every day in summer (next to the moulin beach). There's a pétanque pitch, chiliennes, aperitif boards, fresh and refined cocktails, waffles and ice creams... the MY-MO trailer even comes here on a few Sundays to offer generous burgers!
  • The springboard is located opposite the campsite reception, at the port of Couzage (water skiing). You'll find a menu of sweet and savoury snacks and all kinds of pizzas. This friendly spot is perfect for a relaxing lunch break for all the family!

⇒ In summer, several food-trucks set up on the Plage du Moulin, offering a range of sweet and savoury snacks for those who want to picnic with their feet really in the water!
