"No sea in Haute-Loire, so what?"

These are not the occasions for swim lacking. With the Loire and Allier which take their sources at the gates of the Haute-Loire, they are wild gorges that are offered to us: sandy beaches, natural pools enclosed in the rock, bubbling rapids for rafting and canoeing.

We allow ourselves to respectfully borrow the playground of beavers and dragonflies to frolic. And if that wasn't enough, these are the lacs, sometimes volcanic, which will allow us to quench our thirst for freshness.
