The lake’s vastness offers a magnificent sight. Nestled between the mountains, its reflections on the water are surprising and breathtaking.
As you glide along the water, you’ll discover hidden spots. From this small boat, all you’ll have to do is admire the landscape unfolding before you. Dare to venture away from the shore for even more tranquillity—and perhaps take a dip in the deep waters.

The lake covers an area of around 500 hectares, the equivalent of 714 football pitches, and in places is almost 100 metres deep.


Looking for a place where no one else can go? That’s the advantage of leaving by motorboat, no licence needed. There are many beautiful coves where you can drop anchor for a family picnic, explore the forest and perhaps discover some beautiful waterfalls, before setting off on new adventures.

The village of Castillon was swallowed up when the lake was created. When the water level is low, remnants of the village can be seen.
