Etangs du Bos Leisure & Aquatic Park

Route des Etangs du Bos, Saint-Chamassy, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Description

The Leisure Park of the Etangs du Bos comprises an artificial lake, picnic tables and several activities, in particular during the summer. Those include fishing (bring your gear - separate charge), swimming (heated pool from early May), inflatable structures (from 13h onward) Access to some of them is included in the entrance fee but most activities require the purchase of tokens (2 are included with the admission fee).

Access & Transport

The park is located in the deep countryside, near Audrix and the Gouffre de Proumeyssac in an area called 'Le Bos' (lieu-dit) of the commune of St-Chamassy. There is free parking onsite. See location details here: https://www.le-bos.com/en/location-access/ It is 25km west of Sarlat, 50km southeast of Perigueux and 50km east of Bergerac.

Instructions & Recommendations

Bring a picnic as the available food is limited and not that attractive and aim to reach before 12h in the summer if you want a chance at a picnic table. Lounge chairs can be rented for 2€ as well. The inflatable course runs in 30mins sessions - if have done it once you can reserve or queue for the next available slot.

Meta review

The leisure park is well rated overall with the inflatable course the favourite (30mins turns out not to be an issue as it gets tiring quickly), and it is fun for adults too. Online reviewers state it is good value with welcoming staff but only wish there was a better shaded snack ara with more choice on the menu, a faster water slide and possibly one deeper pool for adults to swim. Maintenance wise, it feels slightly run down but it is kept clean.

Environmental & Social

Low environmental impact and infrastructure isn't too heavy. Provides economic activity to this rural area.

Conclusion

This leisure park is a great half or full day option for those with extra time in the area and looking for a child-friendly option that the entire family can enjoy on a very affordable budget.

Key positive

Good activity for families

Excellent value and fun

Key negative

Time consuming to get to

F&B not great

Suitability

Children under a certain age won't be able to get on some activities. Visitors with reduced mobility can enjoy the grass and picnic area but little else.
