French campsite near a swimming lake

[Frog253]

Went on holiday to France a few years ago and found a lovely lake with a little beach and cafe, all set up for swimming, playing and canoeing. Parking was free but you had to pay to get onto the beach. It wasn't huge or busy and the DC had a wonderful time, no tides/seaweed/stones.
Fantastic idea, wish they'd do that here.
Anyway I was wondering and hoping that some of you might have camped near such a facility? Planning to go South of Tours for better weather but not all the way to the coast.
Any ideas?

No idea, but would love to know where your first one was! ;-)

Hi

It was 'Montaigu de Quercy', if you google and search images you'll see a picture of a beach and that's the one (not me in my bikini btw).
I don't particularly want to go to that area again, as lovely as that beach was. We only went because of a family connection.

Hi, there are so many to choose from but it might be worth having a look at some of the campsites in Dordogne Region or something in the Loire Region such as Le Parc de Fierbois which has a lovely lake.

Hi, Lake Eguzon in Indre (36) has 2 campsites, i would recommend "Fougeres" for families. Situated around 20 km off the A20 (main Paris/Toulouse motorway), has cafes, bars, watersports.

Parc de Fierbois is lovely but I would never have swam in the lake or allowed DCs any closer than an evening stroll around its water. Having said that it was 9 years ago when we camped there so maybe water quality has improved. What about this www.campingfouche.com/en ?

We are off to www.laribeyre.com/ which I hope is as lovely as it appears . Its about 4 hours south of Tours but still a long way from the south coast.

Oooooh Fuctifano, just what we've been looking for. Have just bookmarked it for future ref.
