Canoes are at your disposal to take advantage of the flight of the ducks and the blowing of the wind.

Natural Swimming Pool

The operation principle of a natural swimming pool comes from a simple observation: a polluted natural environment can be purified thanks to its fauna and its flora. The natural swimming pool is a sustainable solution to benefit from a bathing space at home without having to use chemicals.
