Lac d'Arboréiaz, Natural lake in Colomieu, France.
Lac d'Arboréiaz is a natural lake situated in the Ain department of southeastern France. The water body covers approximately 7 hectares and reaches an average depth of around 12 meters.
The lake gained national attention in 1998 when director Jean Becker selected it as a filming location for 'Les Enfants du Marais'. This film production brought the site wider recognition across France.
The lake serves as a breeding ground for waterfowl and amphibians that nest in the reed-lined shores. Visitors can observe the living ecosystem that makes this protected area special.
The lake is accessible to anglers, though fishing permits are required and can be obtained from the water manager. Best access is on foot from nearby parking areas and local trails.
The lake served as the filming location for 'Les Enfants du Marais' and thus holds a place in French cinema history. Today visitors can experience the same landscape that actors encountered during production decades ago.
