Lac du Paty

JUNE 2022- THE SWIMMING IS FORBIDDEN

Lac du Paty is a peaceful place that is perfect for picnics. There are several tables at the entrance to the lake, whilst the other side is perfect for walks. There is a refreshment stall and boules playing area nearby, all ready for a Provence-style break! The lake was originally a dam, a masterpiece of civil engineering, that was constructed in 1766 (making it the second oldest in France). This system of water storage allowed the commune of Caromb to experience rapid agricultural growth. Do not miss the llama farm, located near the lake. Children can also explore the terrible legend of ‘La Pré Fantasti’, a haunted house that has fallen into ruins!
