Discover the activities and children’s clubs at the camping Yelloh! En Champagne

Kids' clubs are open from 29 June to 31 August:

• 6 days a week, 4 hours per day, from 10am to 12pm and from 3pm to 5pm.

The special facilities and the bird observatories on the edge of the lake, which are available to the public, make it very easy to watch the migrating birds and especially the cranes. Well hidden in one of the observatories or out walking on the discovery trail, you'll witness a unique sight. The natural and unspoilt area around the Lac du Der is home to over 270 bird species, such as the crane, which nests some 300 metres from the campsite.

Just a few kilometres from the Yelloh! Village campsite in Champagne, Lac du Der-Chantecoq stands as one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe. Covering 4,800 hectares with 77 km of shoreline, it offers an exceptional setting for nature lovers and outdoor leisure. A 38 km greenway allows you to circle the lake on foot, by bike or on rollerblades, with panoramic views of the local flora, fauna and sandy beaches.

In summer, enjoy the supervised beaches for safe swimming and relaxing moments with the family. The lake is a haven for water activities: sailing, catamaran, windsurfing, wing foiling, canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding and pedal boating are all great ways to explore its calm waters.

In autumn, as water levels recede, the lake becomes a top site for birdwatching, especially common cranes. Every year, from mid-October to mid-March, thousands of these majestic birds stop over at the lake, offering a breathtaking natural spectacle.

Easily accessible from our campsite, Lac du Der is a must-see destination for a holiday in Champagne filled with relaxation, swimming and nature.

Just a few steps from the Der Lake, the new Museum keeps a real record of the heritage of the Pays du Der. In a peaceful, green setting, bring the family to see the old professions, crafts and traditions of villages which are long gone; the House of Nature and its gardens; the Pigeon Loft and the bread oven; the blacksmith's house, and so much more.

A 36-km bike trail starting at the campsite leads you around the lake in complete safety. To make exploring the lake even easier, we hire out bikes. If you are feeling braver, you can go to the city of Troyes, using a new section of the bike trail. The distance there and back is around 150 km.
