Large lake with lots of inlets. Very shady Aire 5 minutes walk away from the nearest beach. Struggled to get past the barrier to the aire until a friendly French woman (in a MH) phoned the number provided for us and got the barrier lifted; both French and English vans suffered the same problem over the weekend.
Walking round to Renac where the second beach is, 30 mins walk along an undulating forest path, across a steel Himalayan style rope bridge.
Lots of watersports available
The bridge swayed in the middle
We tried a walk around a peninsula of the lake but got lost once we ran out of path, couldn't access satellite, wandered up and down the road for a while and discovered that the Sentier de St Etienne signs had smaller print beneath the sign explaining that the road/path was yet to be constructed! So we walked back the way we came. I apologised to Andy for my grumpiness.
Our cafe on the beach at La Espinet beach was delightful with cold showers on the side and a ready supply of Smartie ice creams and cold beer.
