Is the water clean at Le Chenedet?
Le Chenedet is a lake bathing site with an official EU Bathing Water rating of Good for the 2025 season — meets the EU bathing-water standard in the latest annual assessment. That annual classification comes from the EU Bathing Water Directive: national authorities test for two indicator bacteria, intestinal enterococci and E. coli, throughout the bathing season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency (EEA) the following spring — the 2025 season's rating was published in spring 2026, and the 2026 season won't be rated 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. On site you'll find Sandy shore, Kids' area, and Parking. There's parking about ~220 m from the beach.
Looking to avoid the busiest weeks? The water is typically warmest around August, with the most reliable swimming window running July–September; outside that stretch you'll find a cooler sea but a quieter beach. That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. The nearest town, Fougères, is about ~5.0 km away.
Worth remembering: “Good” 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 Ille-et-Vilaine.

What is the sea temperature at Le Chenedet today?
For Le Chenedet, the ~25°C figure above is a stand-in value, not a live reading — the marine-weather feed was unreachable when the page last built, and it'll swap in automatically once the feed responds again. That's the reading right off Ille-et-Vilaine. On the modeled climatology here, August usually runs warmest.
When should you plan a swimming trip to Le Chenedet?
For the warmest water, aim for July–September — that's when the modeled sea temperature is typically at its best. That applies to the water around Ille-et-Vilaine. Within that window, August is typically the single warmest month.
Where does the water quality rating come from?
Once a year, national authorities report a full season of testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli to the European Environment Agency, which grades the season Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor under the EU Bathing Water Directive. A handful of countries, including Croatia via IZOR, also publish individual in-season samples ahead of that report — Le Chenedet doesn't have that feed set up yet.
Is there parking near Le Chenedet?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. The nearest town is Fougères, about ~5.0 km away.
