Café de la Bascule sur Cublize

22/08/2026: Two parking lots. Between the two parking lots, a path winds through the fir trees. Nicely shaded. Stroller accessible with several picnic tables. Activities: pedal boats, beach, treetop adventure course, mountain bike trails, paintball, and more. Paid parking with restrooms. The water was green; we couldn't swim. Swimming is prohibited due to water quality tests. A word of advice: check the water quality before you go. We visited on August 22nd.

20/08/2026: Beautiful setting! We wanted to swim in the free area, but unfortunately, cyanobacteria made it impossible. So we tried the filtered pool: very nice because of the different depths, perfect for the whole family! Despite the crowds, we still found more secluded areas where we could swim. Shaded areas for picnics and laying down towels are fantastic, especially during a heatwave! Perhaps adding a few changing cabins would be a nice touch. It's just a shame that parking and access to the filtered area are not free… luckily, though, the payment is for the whole day.
