The highlights of Lac du Der, to discover during your camping holiday
One of the largest artificial lakes in Europe, created in 1974, the Lac du Der-Chantecoq is now part of the natural landscape of the Marne. You'll always be amazed by the colour of the water, which changes from blue to turquoise depending on the season and the weather, and by the sometimes three-hundred-year-old oak trees in the surrounding forests that are reflected in the water, contrasting magnificently with the colour of the lake. The Lac du Der-Chantecoq also has a clever way of combining business with pleasure. It was built to continue irrigating the rivers in dry periods, to supply the Seine and to prevent flooding, but what a pleasure to enjoy this immense expanse of water for leisure activities too! Walks around the lake, canoeing, swimming, relaxing on the beach... Did you know that a Lake Marathon was organised at Lac du Der? The lake is also the scene of many festivities.
Water sports on Lac du Der
There are several different ways to spend a weekend exploring the lake by boat. You can sail in a large boat with around thirty seats or borrow a personal electric boat in which only your family or friends will be able to join you. You don't need a licence, the boats move slowly and everyone can drive them. Don't forget your picnic to enjoy a good time on the water throughout the day. And don't forget other water-based activities such as canoeing, fishing, jet skiing, towed buoys and windsurfing... There's no end to the water sports on Lac du Der!

Wild and preserved flora and fauna
Lac du Der can also be enjoyed on dry land. All around the lake is a long 77-kilometre circuit for cycling or walking along the lake route. You'll pass through a superb forest of three-hundred-year-old oak trees and admire the lake from above. The spectacle is different every season, so you can admire the flight of a large number of grey cranes in winter and 300 different species of birds throughout the year from the observatory set up for this purpose.
Between February and November, you can also choose to be guided by the little train along the lake, which will tell you the history of the lake while taking in the magnificent scenery.
The Pays du Der Museum
The Musée du Pays du Der, located in Sainte-Marie-du-Lac-Nuisement, will tell you more about the birth of the Lac du Der, the history of villages that have disappeared and the old trades. The museum is housed in a magnificent building typical of the Champagne region, with half-timbered facades. There is also a garden full of medicinal plants, as well as an educational vegetable garden and pond. A place well worth a visit.
