There is a small cabin and terraced area with garden furniture, ideal for picnics and watching the varied birds and animals that visit the lake. There are also numerous woodland walks in this area.

Swimming is not allowed for safety reasons but you are more than welcome to fish the lake in total seclusion for a small charge of €20 /day/rod.

The Haute Vienne is famous for its vast expanses of Chestnut and Oak forests and its profuse and diverse wildlife and has consequently been designated as part of France's newest Parc Regionale. Whilst the area provides the perfect setting for a summer holiday it is also particularly beautiful in Spring and Autumn when the changing colours of the seasons are a photographers dream.

The nearest towns are Rochechouart, Oradour-sur-Vayres and Vayres, whilst Limoges noted for its fine Porcelain, Angoulême, Cognac, Confolens famous for its August festival celebrating music and dance from around the world and Futuroscope (near Poitiers), are all easily accessible.

The area is renowned for its beautiful lakes, quiet villages (except on market and fete days), excellent cuisine, woodland trails and numerous chateaux, (the route taken by Richard the Lionheart is carefully documented and culminates at Chalus where he was fatally wounded). It is therefore ideal for anyone who enjoys walking, fishing, bird watching, watersports and cycling. A two week holiday fishing licence is available for €23 approx.

The nearest large lakes are at Rochechouart, St Mathieu and Vidiex and are all within a 5 - 20 minute drive of Les Brégères. All have man made beaches and offer safe swimming and a variety of watersports and fishing. With the exception of the rescue boat, no motor craft are allowed on the lakes for safety and environmental reasons.
