A little haven of peace on the banks of the Lac du Cher at Saint-Avertin, the Port Avertin open-air café offers family fun all summer long. Laze around at the water’s edge or dance at the open-air dance floors, or at rock, pop, folk and electronica concerts. Open-air cinema, improv theatre, creative workshops and daily games for children round off the fun. Small electric barges for rent on the Cher river for fun and games on the water.
