One of the biggest dam in Europe which contains more than 1000 hectares of mountain water. A balcony path borders the lake, just after the bridge. A single site!

EDF dam cutting off the waters of the Truyère, built in the 1930s, with the participation of German technicians who made their contribution in the context of war damage (linked to the 1st World War).

Incredible spots around this large Nature lake, nearly 1000 hectares of mountain water: the Barrage de Sarrans, the largest dam in Europe in its time, a mecca for predator fishing and the Laussac peninsula, a bathing site.
