Le Lac Bleu, Artificial lake in Champclause, France

Le Lac Bleu is an artificial lake in Champclause with clear waters framed by rolling green hills in the Haute-Loire department. The body of water spans a considerable area and reflects the surrounding landscape throughout the day.

The lake was created to supply water for the region's needs and represents the development of local water infrastructure. It demonstrates how communities engineered solutions to support their daily requirements.

The lake serves as a gathering place where locals practice traditional freshwater fishing throughout the year. It functions as a social hub for the community living nearby.

The site is accessible via a departmental road with free parking located right next to the water's edge. Its straightforward access makes it convenient for most visitors.
