Leisure by the water

The Espace Robelin has a multi-sports court, a table tennis table and a picnic area. It also includes a biological bathing area. Its water is treated through a completely natural process that includes a planted filtration zone. This makes water treatment a distinctive feature of the bathing area; the other facilities at the Espace Robelin focus on exercise and taking a picnic break.

The Plan d'eau biotope is a 1,500 m² bathing area in the Bresse Bourguignonne, fully integrated into its surroundings. Facilities listed there include toilets, a snack bar and a picnic area; swimming is also supervised. These features give the Plan d'eau biotope a clear profile as a bathing and leisure facility.

Nature and settlement pattern

The Mare de la Malatière is a rehabilitated pond and a reservoir of biodiversity. The species it supports include frogs, toads, newts and several insect species. These examples illustrate its importance: the pond is not simply a body of water in the local landscape, but provides a habitat for various groups of animals. Anyone interested in nature will find a specific connection to local biodiversity here.

The settlement pattern also shapes the character of La Chapelle-Saint-Sauveur. In addition to hamlets, there are isolated farmsteads; at the same time, the municipal fishing pond is located in the village centre. These two spatial scales are part of the village’s character: a centrally located point of reference and a settlement that is also spread across individual hamlets and farmsteads. The pond should be understood as a fishing pond, while the Mare de la Malatière is notable for its contribution to biodiversity.

The facts offer different starting points for choosing the focus of your trip: a walking route, an easy circular route of a specified length, and leisure and nature attractions centred on water. Before looking for a holiday rental, you can consider which of these aspects of La Chapelle-Saint-Sauveur matters most for your trip.
