Just a few steps from the pitches and rentals, it’s a natural part of campsite life: you spend a moment there in the morning, come back in the afternoon, and sometimes even at the end of the day.

A place designed for easy pool enjoyment
From the very first days of summer, the campsite’s outdoor swimming pool naturally becomes one of the most popular spots for families. It’s just a few steps away, and it’s here that the day finds its rhythm: a dip in the water in the morning, a return in the afternoon, a final dip at the end of the day. Located right next to the lake, the pool offers a pleasant setting for swimming, playing in the water or simply cooling off between activities. Children quickly feel at home here: they find their way back to the pool from one day to the next, meeting up with vacation friends, inventing games, little races or challenges, always under the watchful eye of their parents. The latter take advantage of this time to swim a few lengths, stand at the edge of the pool with their feet in the water, or simply sit back and observe the scene.


As the days go by, everyone develops their own habits: some prefer an early swim when the pool is quieter, others wait until mid-afternoon to enjoy a more lively moment. In this way, the pool becomes a real place of life, a landmark where people come and go several times a day, without ever getting tired of it, because it simply fits into the rhythm of everyone’s vacation.

A space for young and old alike.
What’s particularly appealing to families is the close proximity of the swimming pool, playgrounds and outdoor areas. Parents don’t need to plan long outings or move the whole tribe: everything is within easy reach, allowing children to go swimming, play ball, have a snack and get back in the water without ever leaving the campsite’s aquatic area.
We go from playing on the grass to a few minutes in the pool, then to a moment of rest on a towel, before diving back in. This simple alternation makes the day flow smoothly, with natural back-and-forth movements between the water and other outdoor areas. The little ones appreciate the continuous to-and-fro that keeps them busy from morning to night, while the older ones enjoy the freedom to exercise, get together and make the most of their vacation.

Shared moments around the pool
For parents, knowing that everything takes place in the same area is reassuring: they can keep an eye on the children while chatting, reading or simply taking a breather. Settle in, put down the towels, take out the games and snacks, and the day glides gently between quiet moments and games in the water.
As your stay progresses, the setting becomes familiar: you recognize the voices, the laughter and the little routines of everyone around the pool, and the pool becomes a natural part of the whole family’s vacation memories. Day after day, the pool becomes a must, a place to return to, whether for a few swims, a moment of shared play or a refreshing break in the heart of the campsite, before quietly resuming the day’s vacation, smiles still marked by the water and the sun.
