The first spot in the region
Renowned for its clear water, this artificial lake formed by two arms is very popular for its nautical activities. Its proximity to Castelnaudary (20min) and Toulouse (50min),
proven 280 hectares of natural space and its range of activities on offer make it the preferred spot
of summer (and not only that!).
From windsurfing to mountain biking, there is something for everyone
The nautical base benefits from 300 days of wind with an average of force 4... You guessed it, it takes advantage of the practice of sailboard, known internationally as a spot of choice.
Two sailing schools registered with the French Sailing Federation are installed there with the possibility of training occasionally with courses for example or throughout the year.
