Is the water clean at Plan D'Eau de Combree?

Plan D'Eau de Combree sits on a stretch of coast classed as a lake bathing site, carrying an official EU Bathing Water rating of Excellent for the 2025 season. Under the EU Bathing Water Directive, national authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season and report the results the following spring — the 2025 rating was published in spring 2026, and 2026's won't follow 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. It sits in Maine-et-Loire. There's parking about ~60 m from the beach.

That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. If you're timing a visit around water temperature rather than crowds, July–September is the safest bet, with August typically the peak — expect a cooler, calmer sea either side of that stretch. The nearest town, Combrée, is about ~200 m away.

“Excellent” is one point on a four-step scale — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — assigned once per year from that season's water samples, not a live reading. It describes how the site performs on average across the season, not the exact water quality this afternoon; for day-to-day sea conditions, see the “Right now” and 7-day outlook panels above. There's 1 place to eat near the beach — Le Lavoir, about ~50 m away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Plan D'Eau de Combree safe to swim in?

Plan D'Eau de Combree is rated Excellent for 2025 — the top EU Bathing Water classification — with 11 of 11 classified seasons rating Excellent or Good, so yes. It's also held steady at Excellent for 11 straight years.

What's the current water temperature at Plan D'Eau de Combree?

Treat the ~24°C above as illustrative only — Plan D'Eau de Combree's live marine feed was down when this page was generated, and the figure will be replaced with a real reading automatically once it's back. That's the reading right off Maine-et-Loire. On the modeled climatology here, August usually runs warmest.

When is the best time to swim at Plan D'Eau de Combree?

For swimming, July–September is usually the best call — that's the modeled window when the sea here runs warmest. That applies to the water around Maine-et-Loire. Within that window, August is typically the single warmest month.

How is bathing water quality actually assessed?

It's based on official water samples: authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency each spring, which assigns one of four grades — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. A few national authorities, including Croatia's IZOR, also publish individual samples during the season itself, ahead of that annual report — that isn't yet available for Plan D'Eau de Combree.

What's nearby Plan D'Eau de Combree — parking, buses, or a ferry?

By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Place de l'Hôtel de Ville, about ~170 m away. The nearest town is Combrée, about ~200 m away.
