Lake of Ch@aux

In season, a spirit of conviviality and warmth rises on Chaux’s Lake thanks to the association Marie Ch@aux les cœuRs; And all of this for over 50 years!

 

 

The Lake of Chaux , a lake like no other..

The Lake of Chaux is one of the many lakes of Marche et Combraille,but its history makes it a unique place. This lake is managed by the association Marie Ch@ux les coeuRs since 2013, an association created in tribute to the owners Marie-Hélène and Roger.

The lake of Chaux is above all a family story and the willto develop the site, to make it one of the major sites of the territory. The owners wishes were successful ,as today the site of the lake of Chaux attracts thousands of people in the summer thanks to the program and the friendliness of volunteers! In 2022, there were no less than 5,000 people who came to the edge of the lake to enjoy the atmosphere of the lake of Chaux.

Every summer, the association programs themed family events (co-hosted with associations such as CPIE23), musical evenings (blind-tests and karaoke), outdoor movies, the famous vides-greniers and farmers’ markets semi-nocturnal! All this around its guinguette which offers drinks, snacks and the famous Creusois fondu!

 

The Lake of Chaux, a place where life is good!

Chaux is also a fishing lake (fishing cards are sold on site and every day in season), with 30 nesting boxes placed all around the lake as well as an insect hotel. For lovers of outdoor sports, the pond is also the start of three marked hikes:

    • Red marking: the Fressenède 3 km (1h)
    • Green marking: In the footsteps of the Monk Knights – 8 km ( 2h)
    • Blue marking : Between castles and ponds – 15.5 km (3h30)

We don’t forget the little ones, with a playground that is set upwith many games for children : a zipwire, a slide, two outdoor babyfoots, a ping-pong table, a bocce court and a swingset for young children.
