On the shores of the beautiful Lac de la Selves, an impressive parc in beautiful unspoilt countryside.

Set on steep terraces on the shores of Lac de la Selves, Les Tours is located between the Auvergne and Lot valleys. It has a relaxing atmosphere, and lovely views from many pitches. Grassy slopes edge the shores of the lake, where you can sunbathe or hire a pedalo or canoe. The main facilities, including bar and restaurant, overlook the lake and the parc boasts a lazy river. The parc is four miles from St Amans-des-Cots.

Only conventional swimwear, such as swimming trunks are allowed in the pool.
