Dogs
Official pages say dogs must be on a lead here. In France a dog counts as straying if it's out of earshot or more than 100 m from you.
You're responsible for your dog. Before you let it off the lead, read the signs at the entrance, look out for livestock and roads, and make sure it will come back when called.
Watch out for
- Canals here often have steep or walled sides: a dog can jump in but may not be able to climb out. Keep your dog away from the edge.
- The supervised beach is reportedly closed to dogs in practice (unofficial sources)
