Eguzon Dam, Hydroelectric power station and arch dam in Cuzion, France
The Eguzon Dam spans 300 meters across the Creuse River, featuring six generators that produce electricity for 47,000 residents in central France.
The construction of Eguzon Dam from 1922 to 1926 established it as the largest dam in Europe during that period, marking a milestone in French engineering.
The dam created Lac de Chambon reservoir, which has transformed the region into a center for water activities and recreational pursuits.

The dam structure ranges from 54 meters thick at its base to 5 meters at the top, generating 101 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.
