Fed by the Charente river and much bigger than the lake at St. Mathieu, the lake at Videix also offers sun bathing and swimming facilities. It is approx. 8 km (5 miles) from our gite.
|
Set on a plateau, the lake is more open and therefore also has sailing facilities.
There is, of course, a man made beach with shower and toilet facilities and a bar offering refreshments and snacks.

|
Just like the lake at St. Mathieu, a small part is fenced off to provide a safe swimming area.
|
A further small part of the lake is for young children and non swimmers. During the summer months a life guard is on duty.
|
Ample free car parking is provided and access to the lake is free. |
