Volcano swimming in France and or disabled access to the many caves and swimming holes in central France.?

Question

Hi I found a volcano in france that you could swim in but I have lost the link. Does anyone know it or even better have you been there? Also any info on disabled access to caves or swimming holes in central France. Many thanks.

Answer 1

I did a bit of research on google.fr (I simply entered "volcan, natation"), and I found the following, which is perhaps what you were looking for? http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q=volc...

Here is an article on the Cantal, which establishes that it's located towards the southern end of central France. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantal I hope that helps. Do you by any chance remember any part of the name- a town, a département, anything? I'll be happy to research it more extensively for you.

Answer 2

Most swimming venues in France,, including volcanic and subterranean, have disabled access - it's getting out of them that is the problem.

Answer 3

I haven't been there but I found the local tourist office website and the page listing such lakes.

You can then google any of the names and get more practical info or contact the tourist office directly. I find it a little difficult to imagine they would have disabled access but hopefully I am wrong. Good luck!
