Is the water clean at Lac Vallee Des Loisirs?
Thinking of swimming at Lac Vallee Des Loisirs? The short answer: its official EU Bathing Water rating for 2025 is Not classified — not enough samples in this year to assign an official rating. That rating is set once a year under the EU Bathing Water Directive, from a full season of testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli reported to the European Environment Agency the following spring, so the 2025 season's grade appeared in spring 2026 and the 2026 season won't be graded until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. You can park about ~50 m away.
Lac Vallee Des Loisirs does not yet have enough classified seasons to describe a long-run trend. The most reliable swimming window here typically runs from July–September, with the sea usually at its warmest around August. Outside that window the water is cooler and often quieter. Lafrançaise — the closest town — sits about ~400 m from here.
Worth remembering: “Not classified” isn't a live reading, it's an annual grade — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — set once a year from that season's water samples and describing the average, not this afternoon's conditions. For what the sea is doing right now, check the “Right now” panel and 7-day outlook above. It sits in Tarn-et-Garonne. There are 5 places to eat within a kilometre — Guinguette à Lafrançaise is the closest, about ~50 m away.

What's behind the water quality rating shown above?
National authorities sample the water for intestinal enterococci and E. coli bacteria through the bathing season and report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency each spring for the season just finished, which assigns one of four annual classifications — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — under the EU Bathing Water Directive. Some national authorities, including Croatia's IZOR, also publish individual in-season sample results ahead of that annual report.
