Big place, the water was freezing cold, but we tried to make the best of it. In overall it’s very nice to swim!

Very nice open air pool. Clear water, soft grass to lie on. Children can play in the shallow part, bit there is also a deep part.

This artificial lake is fed by a water source from deep below. Its cool, pretty cool about 18 cel. But refreshing. Entrance is free.

Very relaxing for a swim,sunbathe or meeting friends.Envigorating water temperature.Plenty of activities for families.

Great place for a picnic and a place to chill with friends

An exceptional place (museum and home) of an exceptional woman who was a feminist and an adventure traveller before her time. The house visit is a must, as it is a guided tour led by a very knowledgeable and passionate lady, who not only knows her stuff but you can tell that she likes what she does. Brilliant.

Nice people & awesome visit

love the story

(Translated by Google) For those unfamiliar with this site and especially the story of this woman, it's an absolute must-see. But it's crucial to thoroughly visit the museum before visiting the house to fully understand the personality and life story of this extraordinary woman. The house tour is unique, as you can wander freely without any barriers. You truly experience the house as it was in Alexandra's time. (Original) Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas ce site et particulièrement l’histoire de cette femme, c’est un détour qu’il faut à tout prix faire. Mais très important, visiter bien le musée avant de visiter la maison afin de connaître la personnalité et l’histoire de cette femme hors du commun. La visite de la maison est particulière puisqu’on y déambule sans souci de barrière. On est vraiment dans la maison comme elle l’était du temps d’Alexandra.

(Translated by Google) An interesting way to learn about the life of this Tibetan explorer, and beyond, who also had a decidedly authoritarian personality. Her house has been renovated. A lovely tour is available. (Original) Intéressant pour découvrir la vie de cette femme exploratrice du Tibet et pas que mais au caractère sûrement autoritaire. Sa maison a été rénovée. Une belle visite est proposée.

(Translated by Google) We took the guided tour of the author's house. We had a wonderful time; it was informative and captivating. The anecdotes and biographical details blended perfectly with the presentation of this place, so special to Alexandra David-Neel. The tour is suitable for a young audience (ages 7 and up). Reading the graphic novel about her life can enhance the experience. (Original) Nous avons assisté à la visite guidée de la maison de l’autrice. Nous avons passé un excellent moment, instructif, captivant. Les anecdotes et les détails biographiques se mêlent parfaitement à la présentation de ce lieu si particulier pour Alexandra David-Neel. La visite convient à un public jeune (à partir de 7 ans pour en profiter). La lecture de la BD sur sa vie peut aider à mieux profiter de la visite.

(Translated by Google) A must-see! The visit to Alexandra David-Néel's home is a wonderful discovery. I discovered a woman far ahead of her time who knew, and was able to, achieve her dreams 😊 It took a strong character and a lot of audacity. The museum tour is self-guided and very well documented. In May 2025, an exhibition dedicated to Japan completed the tour. The visit to her home requires a reservation and is only for groups of 8 people maximum. (Original) À découvrir ! La visite de la maison d’Alexandra David-Néel est une très belle découverte. J’ai découvert une femme très en avance sur son temps qui a su, et pu, aller au bout de ses rêves 😊 Il lui a fallu un caractère bien forgé et beaucoup d’audace. La visite du musée est libre et très bien documentée. En mai 2025, une exposition consacrée au Japon complétait la visite. Celle de sa maison demande une réservation et ne se fait que par groupe de 8 personnes maximum.

In the heat of summer, it is always nice to have this type of aquatic center to cool down and have fun.

Good place, nice equipments, the staff is helping and welcoming. Covid safe (you need to show a valid certificate). Not so crowded in late Aug during weekdays. Lot of space to park your car (some are not free but very cheap) you can bring your food and enjoy sunbath outdoor with table tennis and there is also an olympic pool and a jacuzzi.

25 metre pool, just ensure you have the proper swimming togs. No pool shorts allowed + swimming hat required. Small diving pool 5m too + kiddies area + jacuzzi. Good pool for doing some lengths.

I'm loving this pool. The amenities are great, a slight minus for the opening hours which can be quite tricky

A very good place to both relax and play with kids, perfect temperature for kids. Our 1-year old really enjoyed.... 👌

Amazing pool

Good place to spend the day

Museum space itself is very small, but it is a starting point for many hiking paths. Information is in English as well, and it is clear and interesting. Free parking. Good to visit if you are passing by, but I would not recommend a detour. Avoid hot days.

It was very interesting. Nestled just outside town it's also a good spot for a walk, either across from the ammonite site to the riverbed, or up the hill behind.

Amazing to see. Informative boards.

Great fossils great info, I don't understand why people dont give it 5 stars, u get exactly whats promised!

Very interesting, lovely walk just next to also.

Fantastic ammonite wall, really accessable. There is no excuse for not stopping, even if you have no interest in geology.

Tourist attraction point, nice serene

Nice place for healthy food. This was rather tasty. The recipes seem to be homemade.

Lovely café with a breezy Mediterranean vibe, delicious coffee and friendly service.

Lovely place, Super tasty food and coffe, very friendly service. 10/10 ❤️

Wow! Incredible ❤️ high quality vital food, nice atmosphere, friendly people, beautiful view and lovely design. Also the food is prepared on the plate with a lot of love. Me personally I went crazy when I saw they have drinks with superfoods, because I love them. Never saw that before in a restaurant. Thank you for the nice experience!

Fabulous food, place and service. Highly recommended

Wonderful cafe opposite the house of Alexandra David Neel. Wonderful coffee, best banana bread we’ve ever eaten, and good vegan options. Fabulous

Nice vegan place, lovely staff

Great burgers and a good selection of other dishes too. Not the cheapest, but for its type, definitely worth using if you fancy pushing the boat out after a cheap day out at the wonderful public plan d'eau in Dignes-les-Bains.

Expect to enjoy a morning coffee bit the place is always closed. Very dead.

Impeccable

(Translated by Google) We had an absolutely delightful time at the Lake Restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the welcome was perfect: a smiling, warm, and attentive team. The friendly atmosphere immediately put us at ease. As for the meal, it was a real treat! Each dish was prepared with remarkable attention to detail and quality. Even our 3- and 4-year-old daughters told the chef, "The meal was made with a lot of love, because it's so, so good!" And they were right! All this in a magnificent setting, where every detail contributes to an even more memorable experience. A big thank you to the entire team for this magnificent culinary experience. We will be back with great pleasure! (Original) Nous avons passé un moment absolument délicieux au restaurant du lac ! Dès notre arrivée, l'accueil était parfait : une équipe souriante, chaleureuse et aux petits soins. L’ambiance conviviale nous a immédiatement mis à l’aise. Quant au repas, un véritable régal ! Chaque plat était préparé avec une attention et une qualité remarquables. Même nos filles de 3 et 4 ans ont dit au cuisinier : 'Le repas a été fait avec beaucoup d’amour, car c’est très très bon !' Et elles avaient raison ! Le tout dans un cadre magnifique, où chaque détail contribue à une expérience encore plus mémorable. Un grand merci à toute l’équipe pour cette magnifique expérience culinaire. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

(Translated by Google) This morning, we went to the lakeside restaurant for coffee. We wanted to sit down, but they refused, claiming it was the restaurant's reserved area—and this at 10:00 a.m. However, other people were already seated at tables with coffees. The woman offered us takeaway coffee, but after almost 10 minutes of waiting, while the man chatted and pretended to clean up, we received no service. All this simply because we're foreigners. I'm disgusted, because this isn't the first time this woman has refused to offer me coffee on the premises. This is unacceptable. So we left without a drink. (Original) Ce matin, nous sommes allés prendre un café au restaurant du plan d’eau. Nous voulions nous asseoir, mais cela nous a été refusé, sous prétexte que c’était l’espace réservé au restaurant — et cela à 10h du matin. Pourtant, d’autres personnes étaient déjà installées aux tables avec un café. La dame nous a proposé de le prendre à emporter, mais après presque 10 minutes d’attente, pendant que le monsieur parlait et faisait semblant de nettoyer, nous n’avons eu aucun service. Tout cela uniquement parce que nous sommes étrangers. Je suis écœurée, car ce n’est pas la première fois que cette dame me refuse un café sur place. C’est une manière de faire inacceptable. Nous sommes donc partis sans consommer.

(Translated by Google) We have been going to this place for 2 years, we love the simplicity and kindness of the owners, who only serve delicious homemade food. (Original) Nous fréquentons ce lieu depuis 2 ans,nous aimons,la simplicité et la gentillesse des patrons,qui ne servent que du fait maison délicieux.

(Translated by Google) Always a good time, good home cooking well presented and top locations on the water 😃👍 (Original) Toujours un bon moment,une bonne cuisine maison bien présentée et lieux au top sur le plan d'eau 😃👍

Seems like a popular place for locals. Limited food options. We ordered the 4 * mini burgers which came with fries and some lettuce. The burgers were pretty tasty. The fries didn't have much substance just fried edges without much potato inside. A table next to us ordered the platter with cold meats, cheese, pickles. It looked pretty good. The service was nice. We arrived 7.30pm and sat outside. There were quite a few flies around at that time, so we had to keep swatting them away from the food. Waitresses friendly and helpful and tried to be helpful with English translation. Burgers were E19 which did seem a bit pricey for a pub meal in local town. Outside was full of locals when we left at 8.00pm

Very beautiful place with good food and drinks, good ambiance and very good service from the waitress!

Went for lunch and it was excellent. A warm welcome and friendly service throughout. The crispy chicken salad was very good, as was the Parmesan gnocchi. They were kind to let my daughter swap out the boule de glacé for a hot chocolate as it was a miserable day! The café mignardise was perfect to finish. The interior is cosy too. Highly recommended!

Great food. Quick friendly service. Desert was fantastic

We went after 8, so they only served tapas. We tried fried calamari, mini burgers and cheese sandwich. Good taste. The beer was also nice, it was a blonde lager from the area. Prices kind of high for such a forgotten place. 6 eur per pint, the same as in Lyon. The French are a bit exaggerated with the prices for food and drinks. Cut it down!

Ten of us ate here. By and large the meal was OK however one of the party had Lasagne which was burnt beyond edible. As usual in France the customer is always wrong and staff very surly before eventually agreeing to change the dish.

Nice and buzzy place. We came late so there were only tapas, which were very tasty. There are a lot of different beers which is good. Recommended.

I came here more than 10 times and I really enjoy the food and service here. Every time we finished the swimming then we ate at Restaurant Le Victor Hugo. 1) Beef and Lamb are highly recommended. Fresh, delicious. 2) Menu for children is for free. This is the only place I visited which provides free meal for children. And, the quality is high. 3) Tiramisu is the dessert we tried every time.

Very good

Decent food with good price. I was extremely satisfied. Strongly recommended.

Big portions and the staff were very friendly and helpful!

Super

Very good but expect large portions 😂

Big portions staff very friendly!
