The Lac du Pêcher is an artificial body of water at altitude (1142m), even if it itself comes from a peat bog. Its history is therefore rich. The place would have been cleared by the Templars and its name "Fishing" would have medieval origins which designates a body of water for fish farming. It is part of a classified natural area.

A wonderful site classified as a Sensitive Natural Area, on the edge of the Cézallier plateau, which calls for mediation and healing. Handi-fishing pontoon, thematic trail, and observatory for birds highlight this high altitude lake.
