Boat trip for a discovery cruise or a gourmet cruise
Here's a way to discover Lake Rabodanges all year round, even if the value for money isn't always there. Climb aboard a cruise boat for a 1h15 cruise or a 2h30 lunch or dinner cruise, departing from the Putanges-Pont-Écrepin or Rabodanges landing stage, depending on water levels. The captain's commentary will introduce you to the local flora and fauna, as well as the workings of the dam. Remember to book 48 hours in advance for this gourmet cruise.

Message from Management
The Val d'Orne is a houseboat located in Putanges-le-Lac. It is a magnificent barge measuring 23.5 meters long and 5.50 meters wide, equipped with an open-air deck and an air-conditioned panoramic restaurant. It offers a pleasant 14 km cruise on the artificial lake of Rabodanges, one of the largest bodies of water in Normandy, surrounded by magnificent meadows and exceptional natural beauty. From the upper deck, you can admire the gentle relief of one of Europe's oldest mountains, rich and varied vegetation and surprising aquatic fauna. During your cruise, you'll learn all about the lake's history, its flora and fauna, and the technical aspects of the dam, thanks to the captain's informative commentary. A must-see!
