Lovers can treat themselves to an original romantic getaway, by booking a fully equipped ‘floating island’. If you’re wanting to live like Robinson Crusoe, go for a two-person ‘floating cabin’. The timber decor is lovely and the 360-degree view over the lake, from the circular terrace, proves exceptional! A small boat enables you to access this cosy nest, guaranteeing you an out-of-the-ordinary and unforgettable experience!
Once settled in, you can make the most of the wide range of leisure and entertainment on offer at the Le Lac Bleu campsite. For example, the covered, heated aquatic park enables you to swim and make the most of the delights of water in any season.

For thrill-seekers, what better than hurtling down one of the seven water slides flowing right into the lake, for an adrenalin and speed rush!
