A nature immersion 45 minutes from Bordeaux
In Sablons, in Gironde, lies a place where time slows down. The Domaine du Dahu Wake Park spans 3 hectares of private lake, bordered by forest, with no facing neighbours and no noise pollution. Here, nature reigns: herons nest along the banks, dragonflies dance just above the water, and carp trace ripples on the surface at dusk.
Our 5 floating chalets and our charming gîte are designed to offer a fully immersive experience, with respect for the environment. No television, no energy-hungry air conditioning — just the comfort you need and a breathtaking view over the lake from your private terrace.
Whether you are looking for a nature weekend in Gironde, a week of total disconnection, or a stay where every morning starts with a coffee facing the water, Domaine du Dahu promises what few places can still offer: true calm.
Absolute silence
Here, no road, no neighbours, no mechanical noise. Just the lapping of the water, birdsong and the rustle of leaves. The luxury of silence.
Preserved biodiversity
Grey herons, dragonflies, mirror carp, red squirrels... The estate is a haven for local wildlife and plant life. No pesticides, no chemical fertilisers.
An exceptional starry sky
Far from any light pollution, Domaine du Dahu offers a rare celestial spectacle. Lie down on the terrace and gaze at the Milky Way.
Authentic slow tourism
Take your time. Wander around the lake, read in a hammock, fish at daybreak. Here, you do nothing — or rather, you reconnect with what matters.
A nature day at Domaine du Dahu
Waking up on the water
Day breaks over the lake. A light mist hovers on the surface. From your floating terrace, you watch nature awaken — a coffee in hand.
A walk around the lake
The path loops around the estate. You cross paths with a heron, watch the carp, listen to the woodpecker drumming on an oak.
Lunch facing the lake
On the terrace or in the shade of a tree, you savour local produce with a view over the water. The table is the only screen allowed.
Nap or fishing
Hammock, book, fishing rod: the choice is yours. The pike hunts near the water lilies, or you might prefer to laze in a deckchair.
Sunset over the lake
The sky catches fire, the water turns to a mirror. The silence is total. You stay outside until the first stars appear.
Nature, without sacrificing comfort
Our floating chalets offer all modern comforts (premium bedding, private shower room, fully equipped kitchen, heating) in a setting of wild nature. The best of both worlds.
