Floating exploration

In the hot weather of July (and August!), the Etang du Goulu is a cool oasis nestled between the campsite and the Gollé Goulu orchard. And now it's a navigable space for young and old alike, with all kinds of boats available for hire at very low prices. All you have to do is choose your boat, put the money in the box, put on a flotation jacket and head out to have fun or relax on the water, just a few minutes' walk from your gite or tent.

The Gollé Goulu campsite offers you the chance to get wet and contemplate the abundant life on the site, as birds, pollinating insects and amphibians take over the territory to immerse you in a unique and symphonic experience!

• Paddleboarding: If you're looking for an activity that's both relaxing and challenging, pond paddleboarding is a great option. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced paddler, pond paddleboarding is suitable for all skill levels. The calm waters of the pond offer a safe and stable environment for beginners, allowing them to learn the basics of paddleboarding without too much difficulty. More experienced paddlers can also take advantage of the pond to hone their skills, try out new techniques and even engage in yoga sessions on the board.
• Kayak: Whether solo or in a duo, if you're looking for a more maneuverable and versatile craft, the kayak is for you. Thanks to its narrow design and double paddle, you can easily squeeze into the most remote corners of the pond, where other boats can't reach.
• Rowing boat: For those who appreciate the authenticity and simplicity of traditional navigation, the rowing boat is a timeless choice: grab the oars, find your rhythm and glide across the calm waters. This classic craft lets you relax, meditate and enjoy every moment on the pond.
• Tubing: For relaxed gliding on the waters of the pond, tubing is the perfect way to relax and cool off.
