The perfect place in autumn

To recharge your batteries in autumn, what could be better than a day out in the fresh air walking around the lake?
You can expect a complete change of scenery thanks to the spectacular autumn colours! Our recommendation to really make the most out of your time here is to spend a night with Dominique, the welcoming host at the Domaine de La Cabane Verte, on the shores of the lake.
You'll soon see why she's so well-known for her sense of hospitality.
