Olympic preparation centre

Rowing, triathlon, artistic and Olympic swimming and rugby 7-a-side ... Brive is listed as a Preparation Centre for the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024 for these Olympic and Paralympic disciplines.

A land of champions!

Already well known and renowned for its outdoor sporting activities, the Lac du Causse has more than enough to prove! With its 200 hectares of landscaped land (including 100 hectares of water), the site enjoys 2,000 hours of sunshine a year and is ideally suited to hosting national and international delegations for Olympic rowing, triathlon and open-water swimming.

The Lac du Causse campsite and gîtes complement the natural services already offered by the site. With 12 mobile homes, 20 wooden chalets and 25 gîtes overlooking the lake, our establishment works with Brive Tourisme's dedicated sports sales department to organise tailor-made holidays for you, including full or half-board catering and other additional services if required.
