It is a sand beach in a lake, therefore the is sweet. We did not go for the attractions, there are few of them, neither the restaurant. Just staying in the beach was good enough. There are public toilets you can use and they are fairly clean My favorite place! Safe for kids to swim, choice of sand of stone beach. slides, tree climbing, paddle board, zip line , restaurant, stunning walks ...my second home 🥰 Well worth a visit. We went on a hot day in early August. We got there early (like 9:30ish) and it did start to get a bit busier, but not rammed. But the beach is really nice and clean, the was lovely. There's the big inflatable thing there, but we didn't go on that (but it was fun watching people using it), there are kayaks and pedalos to rent too, and a food and drink van (I think that opened at 10) Really nice morning out on a hot day, and free! A fun place and only a short drive from Carcassone. Plenty of parking. Fantastic place to spend the day Nice walking area. Has zip wire and inflatable slides etc. Toilet facilities had been vandalised when we visited. The is beautiful, though many activities had finished at the end of August before our visit. At high season there's the walk, paddle boarding, skiing with jumps, zip wire, floating inflatable slide. There's a public loo (no paper or soap! Take your own!) The cafe at the ski Jerry was nice and did ice cream, soft drinks, snacks, drinks, wine & beer as well as full meals etc and was beautifully situated and the staff were nice. We walked from Carcassonne - brisk 90 mins route via Carcassonne tourist board app - and would have liked to take the bus back. The regional bus app encouraged us to buy tickets on the app - these were not valid on the bus, the driver could not accept cards and I did not have €2.40 in change, so we had to walk back. The driver wasn't really very nice about it either and didn't really try to communicate with me about a resolution or even explain the problem properly, so I would like to see clearer information on the bus company app to avoid in future. I'm sure many tourists would like to know this! You also need to stand on the opposite side of the road to the bus stop, which isn't made clear either. Got ready and prepared and turned up only to find out that the entire (apart from the park somehow) is off limits for swimming, with barriers preventing access to the water. Was told by someone it’s toxic. Of course, none of this was mentioned on the Carcassonne tourism board, which lists the as something to do and somewhere to swim. Wouldn’t want to scare off the tourists now, would we? Would give a 0/5 if possible. Shamefully deceptive tourist board frankly. Beautiful in nature ruined by building a horrible park blasting out music and noise. Visitors to the are only allowed to swim in a small area which gets busy and crowded. Disappointing.
