Lac de Blanchemer, Glacial lake in La Bresse, France
Lac de Blanchemer extends across 9 hectares with a length of 350 meters and a width of 250 meters at an elevation of 984 meters.
In 1959, municipal authorities established a hydroelectric power plant beneath the lake to provide electricity for La Bresse residents.
Regional folklore tells of a fairy who washed her white veils in the lake's waters, influencing local textile washing techniques.
The lake offers fishing opportunities for trout, perch, tench, roach, and carp species, with a floating peat bog serving as their shelter.
The name originates from winter reflections when snow creates a white sea effect on the water surface at this mountain elevation.
