30-hectare lake dedicated to water sports: fishing, swimming (supervised in summer), windsurfing, pedal boats...
The commune of Saint-Estèphe is watered on the South on more than 5 kilometers by a small affluent of the Bandiat, the brook Doue whose reserve forms a water level of 17 ha, the Large pond of Saint-Estèphe. The story goes that the monks of the abbey of Badeix, established since the 12th century, did not eat meat. It is to raise fish that they dug this large pond in this region rich in water. It is one of the most remarkable places of the commune. You can enjoy a pleasant walk on the edge of a 30-hectare pond that is popular in season for fishing, swimming, windsurfing, electric and pedal boats, and tennis. The pond is accessible to all handicapped people with reserved parking spaces, a flat path, a magnetic loop for directions, a Braille map, strips on the ground, a swimming access system and even showers at the right height. A ferry allows everyone to access a 3 km hiking loop, including 300 meters of lakeside paths on a site classified as a sensitive natural area. You can also go horseback riding and go into the forest to push the Roc branlant, a 3 x 3 m cube of stone that you can swing with one finger without taking your back out. Further on, the chapelet du diable (devil's rosary) is a stone waterfall in the middle of the stream. To stay, the campsite with 41 pitches, an area for campervans and the gîtes on the pond are managed by the Semitour.
