Lac des Sapins offers the largest biological swimming pool in Europe. It is located 440 meters above sea level in the heart of Beaujolais Vert. This environment is special since it has a space dedicated to swimming and a space for aquatic plants that purify, oxygenate and naturally regenerate the quality of the water. This place offers a thousand and one possibilities; hikes, bike rides, horseback riding or water activities you will not be outdone in this green setting.

Mountain biking

Artificial lake but which nevertheless remains a very beautiful place of nature. The lake is very aptly named for the forests that surround it. The sandy beach or the biological swimming pool allow you to rest after a good outing! Starting point for multiple marked mountain bike trails. You can go around it on a compact gravel path, but be careful of the high traffic, especially in summer.
