Enjoying a peaceful afternoon by the water at the Bassin de Brossac

24 August 2026 | Nature & Parks

Just a short drive through the quiet country lanes brings you to the tranquil shores of the Bassin de Brossac. Tucked away in a lush green setting, this charming municipal lake offers an inviting escape for nature lovers and families alike. Whether you fancy a relaxing stroll along the shaded walking loops, casting a line for a quiet afternoon of fishing, or renting a paddleboat to glide across the water when the warmer months arrive, it makes for an effortless and refreshing half-day trip right from your base at a B&B styled like a Boutique Hotel in Yviers.

Water activities and scenic lakeside paths

  • Paddleboat adventures: Take to the water on seasonal pedal boats for a lighthearted way to enjoy the scenic lake views.
  • Peaceful walking loops: Follow the well-maintained paths winding through the surrounding greenery for a gentle nature walk.
  • Relaxed fishing spots: Find a quiet corner along the banks to cast a line and enjoy the serene atmosphere.

Unwind in the privacy of our green estate

Coming back from your lakeside outing, the peaceful dead-end setting of the “Route de Boisdalon” welcomes you straight back into pure quiet. Step under the cool shade of our expansive 5.5-hectare grounds, find a comfortable hammock among the old fruit trees, or settle onto the terrace with a refreshing drink close at hand. Whether you prefer to brew a fresh Nespresso in your room or simply listen to the gentle breeze in the garden, Le Boisdalon provides an idyllic sanctuary to unwind after a day out.

Warm greetings,

Lise & Bernd
