LÉVÉZOU'S BEACHES: A REAL FAMILY PLAYGROUND

Beaches for bathing and for playing

Beaches for bathing and playing

The lakes of Pont de Salars, Pareloup and Villefranche de Panat all have beaches with amenities, and with lifeguards on duty in summer.
They all have toilets blocks, picnic tables and shaded areas.

For the kids

Kids love these beaches because they can let off steam in the play areas. Parents appreciate them because the kids can play in complete safety: the pool areas are separated off, with small pools and large pools, games designed for little ones, lifeguards on duty in summer...

At Pont de Salars there's a big play hut where they can climb up, slide down and play at pirates. The swing is a great favourite too. Being able to take a shower to wash the sand off before going home is a big bonus. The snack bar and restaurant looking out over the beach are open in the season.

The beach at Moulinoches au Vibal is popular because it's so quiet. Families looking for somewhere peaceful come here and enjoy the low-key ambiance of this beach. It has a play area for the kids.

The beach at Les Vernhes features a boat set in the sand, with ladders and climbing walls. There are also games on springs, and a swing. And this beach has a shower, too! Snack bars and restaurants opposite the beach have something for appetites of all shapes and sizes during the summer season.

At the beach at Arvieu Pareloup, parents like the soft surface of the playground, which means that tumbles aren't dangerous. Little ones can play on the roundabout, the games on springs, and the hut with its two slides and its holds for playing at climbing. There's a snack bar on the beach.

At Villefranche de Panat on Le Mayrac beach, kids can let off steam on the multisports grounds. On the other side of the lake, top favourite is the play cabin with its slide. This beach has a snack bar/restaurant too, which again is open in summer.

Have fun on Lévézou's lakes

For teenagers

Teenagers love our beaches as well, because they can meet other young people of their own age and let off steam on the multisports grounds that have been created on the beaches: volleyball courts, beach soccer pitches, pétanque courts and basketball courts.

They can also burn off energy in the water under the supervision of lifeguards in July and August, and they can hire pedalos, canoes or stand-up paddleboards, the latest craze.
