Photographs of the area and creatures that live around 'Les Rivieres'
Please do not be too disappointed if you do not see some of the wild life, some creatures are quite shy of people.

On the beach at 'Etang de la Fonderie' Just over five minutes away by car, nice place for a picnic and children to play. Lifeguards on duty during high season. This lake is very popular with fishermen and ladies.
This fish was caught by a french lady, to heavy for her to land, took two men 20 minutes to bring ashore. The fish swam away unharmed to be caught another day.
