" - The site of the "crested grebes of the lake of Marcenay" is, as they like to say, in the middle of nowhere behind the tiny village of Marcenay. It is located on the edge of the Lac de Marcenay, which turns out to be a typical French étang. In some places, the embankment has been cut through and places for fishing and a sandy entrance for swimming have been created. The Étang is quite large in terms of area, and a walk around it is ideal as an evening stroll between the third glass of Bourgogne red wine and a grilled dinner and the emptying of the first bottle of the same drink and the pillow. The reception area includes the reception desk, a small lobby with a pool table, seating, books in all Western European languages and a 'mini store' for the most basic necessities (salad oil, toilet paper, ravioli, packet soup and oil sardines). The operator and manager of the campsite is a man in his prime, eco, modest, friendly and always in a good mood. He speaks impressive French, English, Dutch and German and takes care of the campers' well-being in a reserved but honest manner. It is possible to order croissants and pain / baguettes at the reception for the following day at extremely moderate prices. The pitches are semi-shaded to shady due to the U-shaped vegetation around each pitch; sometimes you have to remove a branch here and there in order to be able to place your caravan (which is not only tolerated by the site management, but even desired - they regard this as active participation in the maintenance of the campsite for the duration of your stay). On request, you can also take care of other trees, cut the grass, trim back bushes etc. if you get bored (the site operator also explicitly refers to these areas of activity in one of his promotional texts). The sanitary facilities in the middle of the site meet the usual French standards and are clean. Toilet paper is always available. Hot water is included in the (normal) total price. There is a full supply of groceries seven kilometers away. In the 2010 season, a small DIY pool with a diameter of around five meters was set up for the first time, which was just as popular with the few children on site as the Étang itself for swimming. There is also a play and climbing equipment as well as one and two-seater paddles on the Étang - if you have taught your child to keep themselves occupied with limited possibilities, there is plenty on site. For more demanding natures, there is a risk that the children will run out of steam if not sufficiently entertained by the legal guardians on site. For adults, the place is a paradise of peace and French seclusion; reading for hours, lying in the sun, listening to crickets, barbecuing, enjoying red wine, in short: savoir-vivre in complete peace of mind is the first duty of citizens here. At the Étang is the 'Maison du Terroir', a typical Central French cottage where, in addition to watercolor art, jams, dried fruit and the liqueurs and wines of the local winegrowers and cooperatives are on offer - at prices of 6 euros for a bottle of good red wine (which the owner of the place described as 'très cher').
