Lac de Vassiviere

Reviewed By roo1000 - Hampshire, United Kingdom

This is a great area for adults and children as there is plenty to keep both occupied, lots of nice restaurants and bars dotted around the lake as well as water sports, beaches and a dining boat. The island on the middle of the lake is easily accessible you can either walk, get the petit train or the free water taxi across to the centre. It still feels like a hidden gem as even in the height of summer it never feels overcrowded, a must see in this beautiful part of France.

This Medieval castle was fabulous. We had a guided tour (€15pp booked at the Teverne) and it was SO worth it. The guide Irina was really passionate while she took us through the castle for 1,5 hours and told us many fun facts and details about the different rooms and how people lived back then. Most people in our group were French, and yet she took the time to tell us everything in English. Great visit, would recommend!
