Welcome

At Lac du Coeur we offer camping and caravaning holidays on our land surrounding our private lake in France. Whether you want to simply do nothing and enjoy the tranquility here or enjoy activities you'll find what you want here.

The artist Monet chose our area because of the beauty of the scenery and the clarity of the air.

What a gorgeous canvas on which to paint your holiday memories.

Lac du Couer - translated as "Lake of the Heart" - is set in nearly 4 acres of tranquil French countryside.

If you want to be active and request it, your holiday could include any of the following activities

• Relaxing Pursuits – Fishing, Bird Watching,Stargazing


• Water Sports – Kayaking, Canoeing, Swimming…


• Field Sports – Archery, Mountain Biking, Hill Walking, Geocaching…

When you arrive you can relax, take a walk around, take your time and choose whereabouts you want to set up. When you're ready and settled let us know what kind of holiday you want to enjoy and what we can do to help you make that happen.

(We're on hand to advise about where's sunny /shady etc and if you need anything)

Lac du Coeur is not a 'Theme Park' it is naturally beautiful and all the above activities are arranged by request. Any of the activities can be pre-arranged or arranged during your stay and tailored to the abilities and ages of our guests (please talk to us to allow enough time to arrange them for you) - we have highly trained instructors available should you require instruction and to provide safety cover.

The activities we can provide here can be tailored to include fun adventures for the kids too.

You can put together a holiday to meet the needs of the whole family so that everyone goes home with great memories of your time at Lac de Couer.

Tranquil Holidays

Many of our guests love nothing more than enjoying the peace and tranquility of relaxing by our private lake, enjoying the weather and the scenery perhaps enjoying a good book or glass or two of wine. Lie back or sit in a chair or swing and admire the wildlife or if you're a specialist sit in our “hides”, looking out at the myriad of bird species that live and visit on and around the lake.

Lac de Couer also offers guests the opportunity to take leisurely strolls, enjoying the surrounding countryside and of course, the beautiful lake is always on hand.

Join The Hunt For 'Big Bob'

For keen fishermen there is the opportunity to try and out-smart ”Big Bob”, probably the largest Carp in our lake - Bob is so smart that he's never been caught (yet!) ... Will you be the first to net him??
