Pavillon BleuThe 1st ecolabel for beaches and yachting harbors

Our Pavillon Bleu label lakes in Haute-Vienne

Did you know that our beautiful region, the Limousin, is a nature destination? We’ll prove it to you! 🍃

We have no less than 12,800 bodies of water which is the equivalent of 5,520 km2.

Impressive, isn’t it 😉

Two of our lakes this year we’re retaining the Pavillon Bleu label: the Ribières lake in Bussière-Galant and the Plaisance lake in Saint-Hilaire-les-Places 💦  

But what does this precious environmental and tourism label mean?

Internationally recognized, this label is obtained after in-depth study of some one hundred criteria relating to respect for the environment and biodiversity.

A guarantee of quality that is a real attraction for people looking to go green!

As a tourist, going to a Pavillon Bleu label beach means choosing a site with a number of facilities designed to minimize the impact of tourist traffic, recycle waste, ensure quality water, guarantee safety and accessibility for all, and protect local flora and fauna.
