Nestled in the Regional Natural Park of the Orient Forest, in the heart of Aube, these beautiful crystal-clear beaches stretch over more than 2,300 hectares. Surrounded by lush forests and blooming meadows, here, stress is replaced by the songs of birds and the gentle lapping of water.


Dreamy Beaches and Crystal Waters

This haven of peace is especially loved for its idyllic fine sandy beaches. Notably, the Géraudot beach is a true paradise for sunbathing enthusiasts. With its clear and shallow waters, it's the perfect spot for a refreshing swim. Plus, both young and old can enjoy a safe dip!
