Guinguette des Étangs

Every Friday evening, from May to September, Les Étangs de Corot revives the spirit of the guinguette (a lively, open-air café) with contemporary style. Live performances, accompanied by barbecues, savory snacks and signature cocktails, set the tone for long summer evenings overlooking the ponds. Whether you’re on the terrace or in one of the iconic beach huts that are listed as historical monuments, it's a delightful setting in which to enjoy a cultural program that blends pop, folk, rock and classic French music.

Afternoon tea at Les Étangs

Conceived by Pastry Chef Baptiste Vial, afternoon teas–known here as Le goûter des Étangs–combine culinary art with indulgence. Served on three-tiered stands, a selection of six pastries–including one designed to share–take a fresh look at the traditions of patisserie, with original flavors inspired by the ponds, the forest and the history of the area. A booklet accompanies each tasting to explain the chef's approach.
