New swimming option! Two former quarries — just 2,5 kilometers or 4 minutes from the house — have been made into one large, turquoise-blue lake that looks like it came out of a travel poster for some exotic destination! I’m delighted to announce that I now have a free pass for my guests to enjoy its sandy beach and to dive into its clear blue water. Opened several years ago by French water ski champion Will Delair, the lake is maintained as a private club, which only recently began accepting non-skiing members — like us. One side of the lake is for the one and only boat and the other for swimming. However, if you’d also like to ski or ride the waves on a wake board behind the lake’s one “fairly quiet” but powerful inboard, you can reserve a tour or two with Will. The club’s restaurant and bar look out over the lake are open every day from 11 to 11.
