Pebble beaches, lakes, rivers, water park… our ten swimming spots in Haute-Garonne


the essential

Between two swims, spread out your towel on the sand, lie down and think of nothing, that’s what vacation is all about! Here are some corners where you can recharge your batteries by the water, in Haute-Garonne.

1/ In the shade of the pines of Lake Saint-Ferréol

Head to Saint-Ferréol lake, near Revel, for a well-deserved break in an exceptional natural setting where you can picnic, walk in the shade of the pine forest (around the lake is 4.5 km, count one hour) and of course take a bath. So many assets that make this very beautiful 67-hectare lake designed by Pierre-Paul Riquet, a very popular place for joggers, cyclists and families, particularly because of its accessibility. Swimming is authorized and supervised in summer in a delimited area. During this period, qualified lifeguards watch, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. At the brand new Sport & Nature area, it is possible to rent paddle boats and pedal boats to navigate along the water.

2/ Farniente on the fine sand of La Ramée

With its fine sand beach and its lake, La Ramée offers an unexpected swimming area, in Tournefeuille, to Toulouse residents in search of sun and escape. But also all lovers of idleness.
This year, the supervised swimming area is delimited by a green floating dike, equipped with a skirt going to the bottom of the lake. It must make it possible to limit as much as possible the formation and proliferation of cyanobacteria, which appear at high temperatures. Last summer, these algae ruined the season. This summer, all measures have been taken to guarantee risk-free swimming until August 27, every day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and until 8 p.m. in the event of a heat wave. Thirteen lifeguards take turns on the site, including 7-8 permanently, knowing that the Ramée bathing site can accommodate up to 400 bathers simultaneously.

3/ In Caraman, on the edge of White Orme Lake

Here, in Caraman, in the Lauragais on the edge of the white elm lake, summer is in full swing. With its tree-lined banks that offer beautiful walks over 1.5 km and its wooden picnic tables, this 5-hectare lake is one of the favorite places to relax for families. Its Beach corner has been open since June, swimming is supervised there every day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. until September 1st. Access to this 80-metre space is free for residents of Caraman, campsite users and children under 3 years old, others will have to pay €2.50. Right next door, the Aquapark and its many water games promise great sensations (also paying). So that the happiness of summer visitors is complete, it is also possible to rent paddles, enjoy an ice cream at the small restaurant, or indulge in the pleasures of fishing. This is authorized on the lake where the fishing environment is particularly rich and varied (information at the Fishing Club). What else…

4/ At Lake Thésauque, it’s time to jump into the water

Between Nailloux and Montgeard, the lake of Thésauque, with its 33 hectares, assures you of beautiful walks on its banks and some beautiful dives. Swimming is free and authorized every day, with an equipped beach (which has grown this year), as well as the establishment of a paddling pool for the little ones. The space is supervised in July and August from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. The leisure center managed by the Aquaparc Lauragais offers several aquatic activities: pedal boat, paddle and kayak rental. There is also the Aquaparc, an inflatable water play area for children who can swim, and this year’s great novelty, the Water Jump with water slides.

5/ The Aouach, on the banks of the Garonne, attracts in spite of itself

In summer, and more particularly on weekends, the place called Aouach, in Fauga located 10 kilometers south of Muret, is invaded by a flood of holidaymakers. It must be said that the place lends itself to relaxation. Located on the banks of the Garonne, it benefits from pebble beaches and generous shade. Many city dwellers therefore come to spend a few hours of relaxation and swimming there, even if it is not authorized.

6/ In Muret, Lac des Bonnets is still a hit

Without competing with the Aqualudia aquatic complex, the Bonnets beach, in Muret, is about to confirm its success for the 5th year. Open every day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (3 to 4.5 €), it unfurls its canvases of white sand and its games. For those who want to prolong the evening at the water’s edge, a break at the La Java guinguette is a must.

7/ In Montréjeau, dive facing the Pyrenees

Thanks to its Blue Flag label and its idyllic setting at the foot of the Pyrenees, Lake Montréjeau attracts an ever-increasing public, including many families. And for good reason, with completely free entry and parking, the site hosts a wide variety of sporting and leisure activities and events. In addition, in the summer season, swimming is authorized, free and supervised in the demarcated area, every day from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., until September 3. Children under 6 years old can enjoy a paddling pool. The beach also has a lifeguard station, toilets, shower and changing room.

8/ In Villemur, in the river

A free natural swimming area is available in the waters of the Tarn, near Villemur, north of Toulouse. Located on the left bank of the river, this confidential bathing place is supervised by a lifeguard. It also offers many water activities.

9/ In Carbonne, everyone has a blast!

At a place called “Baudean”, in Carbonne, in a former quarry, La Source Wake Park is a place of relaxation for the whole family. There is a water park, stand-up paddle and playgrounds. Since this summer, there is even a panoramic restaurant overlooking the swimming pool, shaded terraces and a laser tag.

Digimon World Next Order Best Training Spots

Digimon World Next is now available for purchase on Nintendo Switch and PC. The object of the game is to acquire as many Digimon as possible and develop them to be as powerful as possible. Players may find themselves doing a lot of grinding as a result of this. A player’s Digimon can be trained in various locations in the game environment. With each Digimon having a lifespan, you may want to focus on particular stats, so farming in specific locations is key. Here is a list of our top training sites in Digimon World Next Order.

Best training places

Training against Digimon rather than at the Gym is often better for increasing your companions’ stats in Digimon World Next. The best practice spots are where you can move quickly and where opponents are close to zone exits so you can quickly reset opponents.

  • Black Gabumon, Goburimon – Located in the Nigh Plains (Power Plant #2), these digimon are excellent for Rookie Digimon training. They will provide you with targeted training to improve your STR, STA, and SPE stats.
  • WarGrowlmon – For a player who is near the East Coast or Control Island in Faulty Ex Machine, the WarGrowlmon is a great choice of enemy to train on. It is good for Champion Digimon level training.
  • piddomon – This Digimon can be farmed at night, at the Logic Volcano near the front door. Piddomon is useful for training Rookie and Champion Digimon as well as WIS and SPE stats.
  • seadramon – This digimon can be found on the MOD cloak and is useful for training Digimon beginners and champions. They will increase your STR, STA, WIS, and SPE stats. Before training here, you must have at least 2,000 overall stats.
  • Dimension Dungeon Boss – These digimon can be discovered in the dimensional district of Floatia. At around 8,000 total stats, some of the most powerful Digimon in the game stop providing stats. Dimensional Dungeons fill this gap and are unlocked post-game by recruiting a Digimon. The majority of dungeon bosses grant +24 to each stat.

Find your own best training spot

There are different places to farm specific stats, so it’s best to find one that gives the stats you desire for your current training path. As stated above, the best places to farm are where it’s easy to both spot digimon and easily reset them by accessing an exit to the area and back. If you find yourself stuck, find a good place to do these things and you’ll find one of your best training spots in Digimon World Next Order.

The Google camera now identifies spots on the skin: difference between moles and other conditions


Google has just announced a great novelty for Lens related to health and the ability of its AI to identify images.

Mobile devices are becoming an essential aid to measure the user’s health thanks to the sensors they incorporate, but now Google Lens goes further to identify those rashes or spots that may appear on the skin. An app available here in Spain that continues to improve, and that has become a vital tool for different tasks, now focused on the health of the user.

Google Lens is characterized by its ability to translate, identify places or simply take the mobile camera to select text from any image. This is not a novelty from Google, since last year a Spanish app was launched that follows the same path as Lens: identify moles and monitor them to observe their development over time.

Google Lens is an app based entirely on image identification. In this case, just like you can do to translate a text, you take your mobile phone in hand, take a photo of the area and open it from the app so that Lens perform visual comparisons. It will give a final result with the different skin conditions so that the user can quickly identify it.

Not only does it remain in the identification of moles or spots, but it can be used for all kinds of anomalies such as a swelling on the lip, a strange line that appears on the nails or hair loss. The help here is invaluable from Google, but to finally identify the skin condition, already having some information in part thanks to Lens, you have to go to a health center to claim the attention of a specialist.

Google is not alone in this type of experience related to health, Xiaomi itself in 2020 began a collaboration with Legit Health for the detection of skin cancer through mobile phones. Huawei or Samsung, thanks to their smart watches, offer valuable information to be able to identify any disturbance in heart rhythmand it has been this year when both are focused on promoting experiences from their smartwatches that help the user to foresee circumstances that may be anomalous.

The new Huawei Watch GT 4 is packed with all sorts of sensors for advanced detection monitoring of arterial stiffness, stress, skin temperature, and lung function. In fact, he is capable of perform a general lung evaluation with the collection of different data such as the sounds of coughing, respiratory rate and the range of oxygen in the blood with its own algorithm and thus give recommendations to the user.

Samsung already has a patent registered for a ring that will also be used to record all kinds of health data and thus help the user to have the necessary data so as not to waste a second in approaching the specialist. In short, that Google, like other large technology companies, is betting more and more to incorporate helpful tools for the identification of all types of conditions that any user may suffer.
