A fabulous place to visit, parking is a bit complicated if you go very late, but it's worth it and there are many restaurants where you can eat or have a drink.

A very pleasant place, among the mountains, worth visiting, spending some time there and relaxing. It is forbidden to eat and bring glass bottles on the premises. The water is relatively warm, around 17°C. It is forbidden to jump into the water, but you can swim without any problems. There is a free toilet on the premises, and there are many restaurants in front of the entrance. The entrance is paid, 4€ from what I remember.
