The lakeside village
A village of the neolithic period (about 5000 BC) has been dug up near the lakeside. Several buildings and a fence have been studied. Near the place where there were the remains of this village, three farms, a corn loft and a fence have been rebuilt since 1996. There is also a garden with the cultivated plants of the neolithic period. Various activities are regularly organized between April and October, such as animations for children or experimental archaeology.
