Lac de St-Gervais
The St-Gervais lake, with a surface area of 16 hectares, has been fitted out with facilities to welcome families, fishermen, walkers, sportsmen and nature lovers.
Lake Saint-Gervais, located in the municipality of Saint-Symphorien-de-Thénrières and covering an area of 16 ha, has been developed for everyone to enjoy.
For the first time, the beach at Lake Saint-Gervais has been awarded the international “Blue Flag” certification. It is one of 384 beaches authorized to fly the Blue Flag throughout the 2026 season, a symbol of its commitment to sustainable tourism.
In the summer, during July and August, swimming is supervised every afternoon (except Tuesdays); a water sports center offers pedal boats and stand-up paddleboards for rent.
All year round, you can walk all the way around it: the trail is 2.5 km long and is designed so that everyone can walk the entire loop, including people with limited mobility.
Benches are placed along the entire route so you can rest or simply admire the scenery.
There are three areas with picnic tables and one area with barbecue grills.
Two information boards about the lake’s wildlife (fish and birds), as well as signs about the local flora, are located along the trail.
One playground for children.
