Different areas of the water

Zone delimiting the shore strip

Along the banks, a continuous zone called "strip of bank" with a width of 200 meters is marked by yellow spherical buoys. The circulation of any boat is carried out perpendicularly to the shore to reach the sea or to dock with the exception of non-motorized pleasure boats and those with motorization equal to or lower than 10 HP (7.36 kw) or in action of peach.

 

bathing area

Inside the "shore strip" are marked zones of enhanced protection, exclusively reserved for swimming, within which all boat traffic is prohibited.

 

Reed protection area

Reed beds are classified as a protection zone where bathing, parking and the movement of boats and, in general, all penetration are prohibited except for the service of authorized pontoons which is carried out in the axis of the work. Any movement of boats is prohibited within 50 meters of the front of the reedbeds and built private properties.

 

Moorings

The parking of any boat is under the sole responsibility of its owner and at his own risk. It is limited to wharves or sheds and buoys authorized by Société du Lac. For the allocation of a place, contact Mr. Maurice DESPIERRE, guard of the lake (06 32 11 48 26).

 

Mooring buoys must be biconical white and be authorized by Société du Lac.

Boat parking is prohibited on the lake out of season from November 1st to March 1st, except for wharves and buoys designed to respond to tastes of wind.

 

It is forbidden for any boat to moor with buoys, floats, beacons, road signs and reed protection poles.

In the event of a drop in the water level, it is up to each owner to withdraw his boat in due time.

 

insurance

The company of Lake Paladru declines all responsibility in case of accident or incident resulting from the use or the parking of any boat, even authorized. It is therefore up to the holder of the authorization to sail and the users of the boat to make all arrangements and subscribe all insurance, so that the Society of Lake Paladru is never worried about it.

 

Bathing

Swimming is allowed only inside the protected and supervised areas in Charavines, Le Pin, Paladru and Montferrat. Swimming across the lake is prohibited.

 

Canadair

Canadairs can use the Paladru Lake for training or when needed. Traffic restrictions result temporarily according to the national provisions.
