PRACTICAL INFORMATION
VILLIERS SUR LOIR LAKE: EUROPEAN BLUE FLAG
The Villiers sur Loir lake was dug out in the 1980s to create the embankments for the TGV high-speed train line. Initially destined to be filled in, local councillors saw the opportunity to create a leisure site for the people of Vendôme and tourists alike.
With a surface area of 12 ha of water and as much landscaping, it is ideal for non-motorized water sports, fishing and supervised swimming in summer.
The quality of its spring-fed waters and the warmth of its welcome have earned it the European Blue Flag, a distinction earned by only 16 inland lakes in France.
US Vendôme triathlon has taken advantage of this real opportunity to develop triathlon and host numerous national competitions over the past 19 years.
