Giffaumont-Champaubert, French commune in Marne, Grand Est region
Giffaumont-Champaubert is a French commune in Marne that sits along Lake Der-Chantecoq. The area contains farmland, timber-framed houses, and a shoreline dotted with small settlements.
The lake was created artificially in 1974, requiring the original settlement to be relocated. This shift shaped the layout of the place as it exists today.
Life here revolves around the lake, which shapes how people spend their time and gather together. Water sports and fishing are woven into the everyday rhythms of the community.
The place is easy to explore with roads and paths running along the shoreline, giving access to beaches and coves. Spring and autumn offer the best visiting conditions, with mild weather and fewer crowds.
Lake Der-Chantecoq is one of France's largest reservoirs and supplies drinking water to Paris. Despite serving millions, the lake remains a quiet place with sparse crowds most of the year.
