site description
With its superb lakeside situation and excellent facilities, this friendly parc has all the right ingredients for a wonderful family holiday. Situated alongside the turquoise-green waters of the Lac de Chalain and awarded the prestigious La Clef Verte award, this steeply terraced parc has a friendly, family atmosphere with a range of well-maintained facilities. These include a superb pool complex with sunbathing area and a flower-decked bar/restaurant terrace. There's also a lakeside beach where you can swim or canoe and the area is a walker's paradise too, with rolling countryside and cascading waterfalls just waiting to be discovered. The Jura is a wonderful region for exploring: the Hérisson Waterfalls make for a spectacular day out, while the French Alps are also close by.
