This Guinguette de Villanfray is a superb spot for a break in the shade, a drink or a snack, and even a game of pétanque. I recommend this relaxing spot with a view of the Château de Villanfray.

The Morfelon pond is a small lake surrounded by a botanical trail, a sports complex and a picnic area. L’Étang de Morfelon is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful and enjoyable experience for nature lovers.

The Château de Gazon was rebuilt in the second half of the 17th century on the site of an old medieval stronghold. The chateau also included a farmhouse which, unfortunately, today sits at the bottom of Lake Cantache.

The Cantache pond is a relatively recent creation, created in 1995 by the creation of the Cantache dam built the same year.
