Restaurant Bar Quai Sud
The Quai Sud Restaurant and bar are highlights of the Resort. The restaurant boast a large terrace with sweeping views of the lake. Sit in the sun or choose the shade of the covered terrace and observe the goings on at the beach and minigolf. Quai Sud operates from April through October every year. The specialties of the house include Ribbs and Tapas. The traditional french menu has a definite cuban influence. For a flaming end to your evening ask Fabrice or Sandy for a "Cucharacha".

Special Events at the Etang Vallier Lakeside Resort
Several times each summer, there are large special events organised at the Brossac Lake. The biggest day of the summer is July 13! To celebrate the national indenpendence (really the 14th) Brossac comes to the lake for a fireworks set to music and dance party and grilled meal afterward. In the afternoon, before the party gets going- there is a special day on the mini golf and the afternoon features a family Sand Castle building competition. The local official pick the winners and every participant goes home with a prize!
Jet skis aren't normally allowed at Etang Vallier, but we arranged with the neighboring lake for them to come give our guests a ride...
Another all time favorite is the Western Theme night- even the most stoïc of guests enjoy the laughter and fun of dancing Country style!
