Peaceful swimming
where nature welcomes you
Real water, far from artificiality
At Slow Village, swimming is a natural experience
At our destinations, swimming is synonymous with simplicity and tranquility. No water parks, no slides, no artificial attractions: we prefer to let nature provide us with its most beautiful playgrounds. Whether in a lake, along a crystal-clear river, or facing the ocean waves, you can always swim at your own pace, in complete serenity.
Each village is designed so that the water and natural landscapes become your refuge. Swimming here means rediscovering the simple, authentic pleasure of pure water, tranquility, and the surrounding panoramas. Far from the hustle and bustle, each dip is a truly rejuvenating interlude, an invitation to slow down and fully enjoy the present moment.
Island swimming
In Saint-Martin-de-Ré and Belle-Île-en-Mer, our hotels surrounded by nature offer easy access to the ocean, allowing you to enjoy swimming and walks by the sea close to your accommodation.

Facing the lake
Facing the lake, Slow Village Biscarrosse Lac offers opportunities for swimming and relaxation by the water.

The Cévennes and the river
Our two southern villages offer direct access to a river: the Gardon du Mialet in Anduze and the Cèze in La Roque-sur-Cèze, in the heart of the Haut-Gard region.

By the sea
In northern Finistère, dive straight into Goulven Bay and let yourself be carried away by the rhythm of the tides.

Stay on the banks of the Loire
On the banks of the Loire, enjoy a peaceful and serene stay, taking full advantage of the riverbanks and the tranquility of Anjou.

The lagoon at Slow Village Anduze
A haven of freshness, where the water is naturally filtered by aquatic plants to remain clear and healthy. Deck chairs, shaded areas, and preserved vegetation invite you to relax.
Whether with family, friends, or during a seminar, the lagoon becomes a welcoming and inspiring meeting place, perfect for combining pleasure and sharing.
See you in the water!
