ロアレの湖・トップ15

The village of Tavers is crossed by "Le Lien," a peaceful river that rises near the hamlet of Feularde. It receives several springs, fed by the Beauce aquifer. The "Fontenils" spring is the most beautiful: the gushing water creates bubbling formations known as quicksand. The clay bed, the water's clarity, and its very low mineral content give it a translucent blue appearance. These Blue Waters are what Tavers is famous for! Follow the hiking trail "The Blue Waters and Turning Stone Trail."

games and beach for children, hiking and cycling for adults

Beautiful stretch of water to take a break. Leisure center in fine weather, you will find a beach, a picnic area, toilets and a café (open from April to October on weekends and during the week during school holidays).

If you are looking for a peaceful and natural place to stop off during your hike, you can visit the Courpain nature reserve, a 13-hectare space located at the confluence of the Loiret and the Loire. This site is part of the Saint-Mesmin nature reserve and is home to a forest rich in 23 species of trees and 15 species of shrubs. You can enjoy the seasonal beauty of this place, such as the white carpet of snowdrops in March, the concert of birds in May, or the white rafts of water crows on the Loiret in June.

Very nice mountain bike path and lake

Very pretty passage between the ponds of Gazonne and Boudinières which are located along the Briare canal.

Parallel to the Loire, this beautiful pond offers beautiful views of the surrounding area including Orléans Cathedral. There is also a leisure center and a beach.

Quiet pond where fishing is allowed. It is possible to go around it completely.
