1. The Aqua'Noblat Centre
The swimming pool at Saint Léonard de NoblatThe small town of Saint-Léonard de Noblat has a water park that’s open all year round. It’s the perfect place to go for a swim whatever the weather!

2. The Lac de Vassivière
Limousin ’s largest lake!This is the nature and water-based destination not to be missed during a stay in Saint-Léonard de Noblat, just a 40-minute drive from the medieval town! Spanning 1,000 hectares, the Lac de Vassivière offers five beaches where you can make the most of the water’s delights.
Nicknamed the “Little Canada of Limousin ”, this large lake is also ideal for water sports: canoeing, kayaking, sailing… Which will you give a go? We recommend the stand-up paddleboarding taster sessions every Wednesday!
