The lake at Puivert is about 1 hour 15 mins drive away from Maison Famille but well worth a visit. You leave Maison Famille and head to Foix on the D117. You stay on the D117 and follow sign posts to Lavelanet Drive through Lavelanet and follow sign posts for Belesta. This is all still the D117. Then going through Belesta you will see signs for Puivert. As you come down the winding hill in the trees you will see the lake off to your right.
As you enter Puivert the Lake is down a road on your right hand side. It has many sing posts together. One for the lake, one for camping, one for a snack bar. It is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it.
Go down this road and you will find two parking areas. The first you come to and one further on were the camp site is.The beach is small and friendly with a big grassed area behind it.
There is a children’s play area with swing, slide and roundabout. You can hire pedlos and canoes. There are toilets (which are not the best I have seen but adequate) as well as a snack hut selling food drinks and ice creams.The water is very clean and no bits under foot. The kids can walk out into the water and are quite safe as it is a gradual slope. The swimming area is roped off.Lewis my 3 year old and his friends loved it. I would say try and take some shade as it does get very hot. There are a few trees and shaded areas on the grass.
We have been a few times now but never manage to keep the brolly up for long as there is a breeze.Great day out for the kids and for anyone who loves the beach. If you take a pack up it’s also a cheap day out.
