      What visitors say 4.1 ★★★★✩ according to 12 opinions

      A magical family moment

      ★★★★★ – 12 July 2025

      An unforgettable experience on the water with our two children on a pedalo! The calm of the marsh, the freshness of the trees and the reflections everywhere… We loved taking our time, picnicking on the bank and hearing the frogs sing. We’ll be back again.
