There are several car parks, easing parking and accessibility. From mid-July to mid-August, you can enjoy the pleasures of the water with peace of mind, swimming is supervised!

Trees provide shade, which is very much appreciated in midsummer, and you can leave your belongings on the grass or directly on the fine sandy beach bordering the lake.
