Can anyone tell me of any lakes that you can swim in in the Loire, or maybe a map showing swimming places? Thanks

Be wary about swimming in the Loire......

Seriously, just look on Google Earth for a lake near to where you are intending to stay and if it has a plage you can swim there. There are hundreds of communal lakes with plages.

The town of La Flèche has an excellent swimming lake and a very nice and inexpensive municipal campsite

Admittedly it was many years ago but a village/town called Bougeuil near to Chinon had a very good lake with pedaloes and swimming. Don't know if still there. Like I say it was a long time ago I was last there so maybe change now.
