The Triouzoune lake
Our cottage is situated next to the Triouzoune lake, also known as “the lake of Neuvic”. This lake or reservoir is about 410 hectares and offers a wide variety of leisure activities.
During the summer months there are 2 supervised swimming areas. Here you can find multiple bouncing castles floating on the surface of the water.
The more active ones amongst you can hire a canoe, a kayak, or water bicycle.
If you prefer something more speedy, you will find opportunities to water ski and jet ski, you can hire a motorboat, or you can surf and sail. There's even a sailing school.

A stay at Maison Chabrat is the perfect opportunity to explore the unspoilt natural beauty of the surrounding area. Put on your hiking boots or hop on your bicycle and discover the peace, open spaces, and stunning landscapes of the Corrèze.
