Leisure
In the summer season the swimming pool is the focal point of leisure time. Spacious and providing shade with its pine trees, it is conducive to relaxation and fun as well of times of sharing and connecting. Of course the cicadas provide the musical background! Numerous shaded areas lend themselves to enjoying the tranquil surroundings.
It also provides a french bowls strip (pétanque), ping-pong, volleyball and football pitches and a small park for the very young.
A wide choice of board games and giant chess is available.
