Domaine de la Motte

A mere 500 metres from the park is a lush lake with a beach, fishing and pedalo hire; it’s splendid to spend a day around, with a beau beach bar and a picnic area between water and woodland, making lengthier lingers easy if that’s your leisurely bent. Horse riding can be arranged locally too, and hiking and mountain biking trips around the locale are available from the site or the local tourist office. Quad bike tours are available too in Mondrepuis. The farming village of Parfondeval, a short pootle from base, is worth a visit for a leisurely mooch around its red-brick dwellings, apple orchards, lush pastures and golden maize-filled fields.
