| The lake at St. Mathieu, is our favourite place for sun bathing and swimming. It is approx. 12 km (8 miles) from our gite. |
Nestled in woodland, fed by the river Colle, the lake offers all the traditional French amenities; toilets, showers and of course a man-made beach.

Just like the lake at Videix, a small part of the lake is fenced off to provide a safe swimming area. A further small part is for young children and non swimmers. During the summer months a life guard is on duty. |
|
The restaurant and bar near the lake offers excellent value for money and some of the best food we have eaten in France. |
|
On the opposite side of the lake there is a shaded picnic area. This is where you may also find the locals fishing.
Ample free car parking is provided and access to the lake is free. |
