Fête du Lac d'Éguzon

A historic event on Lake Éguzon

The Fête du Lac d'Éguzon is one of the oldest and most popular summer events in the Indre department. Created in the 1950s, it celebrates the beauty of Lake Éguzon every summer, a 312-hectare reservoir formed by the dam on the Creuse river, which is the largest body of water in the Centre-Val de Loire region.

Water sports and outdoor activities

Throughout the day, from 10 am to 11 pm, the Fête du Lac offers a rich program of sports and water activities accessible to all ages and all levels. Visitors can try paddleboarding for free, discover climbing on the beach, watch sailing regattas, enjoy jet ski taster sessions, or try baby water skiing. Water sports champions regularly come to perform impressive demonstrations on the lake.

Three beaches, three atmospheres

The three municipalities bordering the lake — Éguzon-Chantôme, Cuzion, and Saint-Plantaire — participate in organizing this festive day. The beaches of Chambon, Bonnu, and Fougères each host activities and events, offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy different atmospheres and move from one beach to another throughout the day.

The fireworks, the highlight of the show

The most anticipated moment of the Fête du Lac is the grand fireworks display held late in the evening over the lake. This pyrotechnic show, whose rockets are reflected on the calm waters of the lake, offers a magical panorama visible from the three beaches. The fireworks are preceded by a concert that sets the mood and brings spectators together on the lake shores to enjoy this magical moment together.

An exceptional natural setting

Lake Éguzon, nestled in the Creuse Valley, offers an exceptional natural setting with its turquoise waters bordered by cliffs and forests. The Fête du Lac is an opportunity to discover this remarkable site, certified for the quality of its bathing water, and to enjoy the natural and heritage riches of the Creuse Valley.
