On the lakeside, cross-breeding families are already attracted to the new look of the entertainment centre. “It’s really well thought out and much better than before.” says Amandine Gonzalez, a mother of five who is used to the base. In her opinion, the site is very suitable for children.”Even my three year old son can go to the children’s pool without any problems and with full confidence.“, she continues.
What parents especially like is the feeling of safety provided by lifeguards who supervise bathing all summer long. “This is very encouraging. Even if we have a moment of inattention, we know that someone is still watching over our children.” says Elodie, a 40-year-old mother who regularly takes her daughter swimming in the lake.
