Is the water clean at Plan D'Eau de Saint Clement?
Plan D'Eau de Saint Clement 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 Lifeguard, Toilets, and Parking. You can park about ~90 m away.
That rating has been consistent: every one of the 1 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. Saint-Clément — the closest town — sits about ~2.3 km from here.
That “Good” label comes from a full season of official water sampling, not a single test — it's one step on a four-point scale (Excellent, Good, Sufficient, Poor) reassessed once a year. Today's actual conditions can differ from the seasonal average, so for a live snapshot see the “Right now” and 7-day outlook panels above.
Frequently asked questions
Is the water at Plan D'Eau de Saint Clement safe right now?
Yes. Its official 2025 EU Bathing Water rating is Good, the second-highest classification, and 1 of the 1 classified seasons on record have rated Excellent or Good.
How cold or warm is the water at Plan D'Eau de Saint Clement today?
That reading, around 23°C, is a placeholder rather than a live measurement, shown only because the marine-weather feed was temporarily unreachable; it updates automatically once the feed returns. That's the reading right off Allier.
What's the best month to visit Plan D'Eau de Saint Clement for swimming?
July–September is typically the most reliable swimming window, with the sea usually warmest in the second half of summer. That applies to the water around Allier.
What does the water quality rating actually measure?
The grade comes from a full season of official sampling for intestinal enterococci and E. coli, reported to the European Environment Agency each spring under the EU Bathing Water Directive, which assigns Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. Some countries (Croatia, via IZOR) also publish individual in-season samples ahead of that report; Plan D'Eau de Saint Clement doesn't have that feed yet.
How do you get to Plan D'Eau de Saint Clement?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. The nearest town is Saint-Clément, about ~2.3 km away.
