A maar-type volcano, the artificial lake is partly nestled in a vast explosion crater, the edges of which can be guessed. The sap of Lestrat dominates the lake, a remnant of an old lava needle partly destroyed by the setting up of the crater.
The lake's water sports center contributes greatly to the site's tourist success, thanks to its many activities: fun water jets, water games: water volleyball, diving, pedal boat rental, etc.
You want to recharge your batteries in an idyllic setting, this lake is made for you. Located at an altitude of 800 meters, surrounded by mountains, you can get some fresh air! Come and enjoy the lake with its nautical and leisure center.
The Pradal valley is protected by its unique access. It offers us, with its landscapes, a remarkable set of hamlets with slate roofs (phonolitic rock that cuts like slate).
The 16 chalets of 35m2, facing south and overlooking the lake, are located in the Hameau de Rouviller.
The “D’la joie sous les lanterns” Festival is set up at the edge of the lake for 4 evenings, with 3 shows per evening. Courses and cultural activities are offered all day long. Refreshment bar and catering on site.
