Looking for a calm walk with your dog near Toulon? Lac du Revest welcomes dogs on a leash, in a green setting 20 minutes from the town centre.
The vibe
Created in the early 20th century (dam built in 1912), this small lake, also known as Barrage du Revest or Lac de Dardennes, offers a green, peaceful setting less than 20 minutes from central Toulon — handy for a change of scenery without a long drive.
What to know before you go
Walking around the lake with a dog is pleasant, in an atmosphere far calmer than the coastal beaches in summer. An important correction: swimming isn't just "not officially developed", it is banned, as this lake serves as a drinking-water reserve — like Lac de Carcès. Wild camping and barbecues are also strictly banned. Parking is limited, with no real dedicated car park: you sometimes have to park fairly far away.
