Mereville (Meurthe-et-Moselle)
450 km from Utrecht
Etang de la Saussaie is a lake of 55 acres in the north of France. When you drive from the Netherlands through Luxembourg, there is no toll road.
The owner is a friendly French man who speaks English as well.
The lake counts 20 spacious swims, some of them suited for two persons. When you make a booking, you can give your preferences for a specific swim.
The lake is an old gravel-/sandpit; the soil mainly excists of sand and some gravelbanks. The average depth of the lake is 2.70 meter. Because of the variable character the use of a boat is an absolute must. This has to do with the many obstacles as trees and water lilies. Towards these obstacles we advise the use of nylon leader.
