While the general area around the lake is welcoming, specific rules regarding dogs on the beach or in swimming areas may apply. It's generally advisable to keep dogs on a leash and ensure they do not disturb other visitors, especially in designated recreational zones. Always check local signage for the most current regulations.
The Plan d'eau des Vannades, with its natural setting and focus on aquatic ecology, is home to various local fauna and flora. Visitors can often spot different bird species, insects, and aquatic life. The discovery trail around the lake provides information about the ecosystem, enhancing opportunities for wildlife observation.
The lake is a popular destination, attracting an average of 26,000 visitors per month in 2024. It can get quite crowded, especially during summer weekends and public holidays when swimming is supervised and the Aqua Jump park is open. For a quieter experience, consider visiting during weekdays or in the shoulder seasons (spring and autumn).
Yes, there is a traditional French open-air cafe, known as a 'guinguette,' located under the trees at Plan d'eau des Vannades. This provides a convenient spot for visitors to enjoy refreshments and light meals without leaving the leisure base.
Beyond supervised swimming, the lake offers a variety of water sports. You can rent stand-up paddles, canoes, and pedal boats. During the summer months (mid-June to mid-September), the Aqua Jump inflatable water park provides an exciting experience. Opportunities for sailing and rowing are also available.
Free parking is available year-round at Plan d'eau des Vannades. However, due to its popularity, especially during peak summer months and on weekends, parking spots can fill up quickly. Arriving earlier in the day is recommended to secure a convenient space.
Yes, Plan d'eau des Vannades is accessible by public transport, making it convenient for those without a car. It's also easily reachable by bicycle via dedicated paths from Manosque city center.
The lake's excellent water quality is due to its unique natural feeding system. It is not fed by a river but by the water table, which is replenished by rainwater filtering through the soil and rocks. This natural purification process ensures the entire volume of water renews approximately every ten days.
Absolutely! The O'Vannades leisure park, located by the lake, offers an Accrobranche (treetop adventure) course with six different levels, a thrilling zip line, and a Quick Jump for those seeking an adrenaline rush. These activities provide a great option for older children and adults looking for more adventurous pursuits.
While summer is ideal for swimming, spring and autumn offer pleasant temperatures for walking, jogging, cycling, and enjoying the leisure facilities without the peak summer crowds. The natural beauty of the surrounding Luberon region is particularly vibrant during these seasons, making them excellent for outdoor exploration.
