St Jean D'Angely
Incredibly cheap entry and no time limit on your stay, you could spend the whole day
there. Theres a cafe and sunbathing area too. Please note that boys and men have to wear
swimming trunks, swimming shorts are not allowed.
Outdoor - in the Les Vallaies pool of course. 66m2 with a
4m by 4m toddlers area with a gentle slope from a few cm
to 0.8m, perfect for paddling; and then the 10m by 5m
main area which has a 0.8m shallow area and then a slope
down to 1.80m deep end. Theres also a spa too. Lots of
sunbeds and you are just seconds away from your own
cottage.
In rivers - there are
numerous lakes and rivers
around the area where
swimming and picknicking
is allowed.
and in the sea - just an easy one hours drive away there are great gently sloping beaches, perfect for
swimming and paddling, just make sure you go when the tides in (it goes a long way out !) The island beaches
are great for older children who enjoy body boarding as there is some great surf and waves. The mainland
beaches are a lot more sheltered and better for younger children.
