Lidos & beaches

Well-equipped and comfortable lidos, inviting public baths, beautiful natural beaches, grassy banks where you can lie out and sunbathe, and shady palms for reading a good book: all your favourite things to do by the lake on a hot summer’s day.

The best way to escape the heat

Summer immediately calls to mind images of white sand underfoot, water on the skin and the heaven-sent shade of palm leaves; of warm evenings by the lake, music and fireworks; and finally, of passions and friendships. It’s hot, baking hot! When it’s like this, there’s no excuse for it, one of the most effective ways to cool off is to jump into the water. Even better if you’re planning to spend the whole day basking in the sun. The most important thing is to make sure you always have your sunny day survival kit close at hand: sunscreen, hat, sunglasses and a bottle of water. All set? Perfect, you’re ready to spread yourself out on a towel in the sun and go home with a tan that will make all your friends go pale with envy.

There’s room for everyone in the sun

From the region’s most popular lidos, meeting places par excellence for catching up with friends, to the super-equipped pools that will delight little ones (and their parents!), and quieter lakeside spots where you can relax under a palm tree, reading a good book and forgetting everything else. Whatever you’re looking for, you’re sure to find your perfect lido, regardless of the company. Because during the warm days of summer, when the sky is clear and the shining sun stops you from staying indoors, it doesn’t matter if you’d rather be spending time with family, partying with friends or enjoying your own company on a walk, whether you’re looking for an active summer or a relaxed atmosphere to help you switch off: you’ll find whatever you need at one of our lidos. Close your eyes, breathe in the lake-scented air and enjoy the feeling of the sun on your skin.
