Cormoranche-sur-Saône Outdoor Activities Centre

An invitation to relax or mess about in the water

Located beside the Saône, some 8km south of Mâcon, and lying right beside La Voie Bleue cycle route, Cormoranche Outdoor Activities Centre offers you the possibility of taking a break to relax or to go swimming along your route. The Centre stands in a green setting covering 42 hectares.

If you simply wish to take a quick break, there’s a bar and restaurant on the spot. If you wish to stay the day, young and old alike can relax or make the most of the many activities on offer in and around the lake: swimming, with lifeguards on duty, angling, picnicking, using the aquapark… (There is an entrance fee.)

If you decide on an overnight stop, try the 4* campsite, which offers you the choice of hiring a bivouac tent,  a chalet, or a ‘nest’ (a hut with rooms and terrace perched up high)... Heading out from the Centre, it’s easy to explore the surrounding area, reputed for its tourist attractions, including the Grand Site de France de Solutré, the grounds at the Château de Pont-de-Veyle, Cluny Abbey, Touroparc (a zoo) and more. Consult the Centre’s website for further information and to reserve accommodation at the campsite.

Leaving Mâcon, you start to feel the pull of southern France as you race straight southwards towards Thoissey. Having made the most of visiting this town’s historical and archaeological sites, La Voie Bleue leads you along the east bank of the Saône. Around here, you pass through natural landscapes marked by wetlands and poplar plantations, home to many species of birds. This stage of the route also offers lovely views on the Mâconnais and Beaujolais hills. Along the way, stop at the restaurant at Port de By or at the outdoor leisure lake at Cormoranche-sur-Saône.
