On and around theestate
🏠☀️ Activities at the Domaine :
During your stay here, you can enjoy a magnificent area with a swimming pool and sunbathing facilities. There’s also a children’s play area and table tennis. If you’d like to discover Cholet and the surrounding area to the full, there are plenty of walks to be had, and you can set off directly onfoot from the estate, where you have access to the Ribou’cle. Spice up your walks with Geocaching! This activity involves using your mobile phone to find GPS beacons hidden all along the trails. It’s the perfect way to discover our beautiful region in a fun way!
Our entire site is accessible to PRMs, including the pool deck, but the pool is not equipped.

The pool area
The landscaped swimming pool is open and heated from May to September, from 10am to 8pm. The large bath is 10m long and 1.60m deep. A shallow section for children and a “beach” section for sitting in the sun with your feet in the water will delight young and old alike. The pool is unsupervised, so everyone is responsible for their own safety.
A discretionary naturist zone is available on an adjoining plot, with access from the swimming pool.
The Domaine de l’Entrelacs has created a partnership with the Fédérations Nationales et Régionales du Naturisme: On presentation of the card, 5% discount on your stay.
Play/read/wifi areas
Outside, there’s a swing for children, a ping-pong table and a petanque court.
Indoors, the Salle du Domaine is transformed into a library of board games and books at the height of the season. (If you’re getting rid of any board games, we’d love to hear from you).
Wifi is available free of charge in the room adjacent to the reception area. In keeping with the spirit of nature, and in order not to increase the level of radio waves in the accommodation, there is no WiFi in the rental units.
Lake Ribou and its walks
The Domaine has two direct accesses to the lake! It’s possible to hike around the lake from here, and even a little further afield. The “Ribou’cle” (a walk around Lake Ribou) is 8 or 11km long, for example. We’ll suggest hikes to you at reception, according to your wishes.
The lake is also a water sports center, where you can go paddle-boarding, canoeing, boating and fishing. For water sports, see CISPA below. Fishing permits are required and can be obtained by the day from a nearby store.
Geocaching
Geocaching is a modern-day treasure hunt. This practice is completely FREE.
The principle is simple: some people have hidden objects in containers called “caches”, and you have to try to find them!
There are geocaching trails starting from the Domaine and many others in the Choletais area.
