Plan d'Eau de La Grande Prairie, Recreation park and lake in Saint-Yrieix-sur-Charente, France.
The 26-hectare water body features extensive walking paths surrounding the lake, with tree-lined shores and designated recreation areas for outdoor activities.
During the 1960s, the site transformed from alluvial meadows to sand quarries, which were later merged into a single lake in the 1980s.
The Eric Tabarly Base operates at the lake, offering sailing instruction and hosting competitions in Optimist, Vaurien, Laser, and Yole categories.
The park provides supervised swimming areas during summer, along with facilities for fishing, mountain biking, canoeing, and windsurfing.
A green corridor connects the lake to Angoulême, following the Charente River past the Touvre confluence to Bourgines Island.
