Here at Lac du Coeur (The Lake of the Heart)

One aspect of our business is having guest visitors stay here, either as a vacation break or on a course.

Relax

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.

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

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

Activities - Other things you can do here by arrangement

• Relaxing Pursuits – Fishing, Bird Watching,Stargazing


• Water Sports – Kayaking, Canoeing, Swimming…


• Field Sports – Archery, Mountain Biking, Hiking, 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 you can let us know what kind of holiday you want to enjoy and what we can do to help you make that happen.

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

Lac du Coeur is not a 'Theme Park'(no 'Hi de Hi') it is a naturally beautiful area and all the above activities are just 'available if you want them' and are arranged by your request.

Any of the activities can be pre-arranged, some can be arranged during your stay and all are tailored to your abilities and ages (please talk to us to allow enough time to arrange them for you) - we have trained instructors available should you require instruction and to provide safety cover for you.

The activities we can provide here can be tailored to include fun adventures for all the family, so that everyone goes home with great memories of your time at Lac de Couer.

Adrenelin Adventure Holidays - Instructors and Group Leaders
