Walks on the Goule Pond
Nestled on the border of the Cher and Allier departments, the Goule Pond is a perfect outing if you enjoy nature walks and the great outdoors.
This nearly 100-hectare body of water offers an exceptional natural setting conducive to relaxation and reconnecting with the environment.
The Goule Pond loop, approximately 6.3 kilometers long, is accessible to everyone, including families with children.
The well-marked trail winds through undergrowth, meadows, and banks, offering incredible views of the pond and its biodiversity.
Along the way, you can observe numerous bird species from the pontoon, such as the black-crowned night heron, the yellowhammer, and the osprey.
Allow approximately 1.5 to 1.45 hours to walk around the pond. The last few meters are along the seawall, with a bar at your arrival for a drink.
If you're looking for a little peace and quiet, this is the ideal place.
In addition to hiking, the Goule Pond has a well-equipped leisure center in its northern section.
In summer, enjoy supervised swimming and numerous water activities such as pedal boats, canoeing, paddleboarding, sailing, and windsurfing.
If you're more of an athlete, a mountain bike circuit and trails are also available.
The site also offers fun activities such as laser tag, mini-golf, a fitness trail, a tennis court, archery, and an Explore Game.
