Lac de Chambon

Lac de Chambon, reservoir in France

Lac de Chambon is an artificial reservoir in central France that spreads across several kilometers through a green landscape. Wooded shores line the water, with beaches and access points at different locations along its banks.

The reservoir was created in the 1930s as part of a hydroelectric project to supply power to the region. The dam and water management infrastructure remain key features of the area today.

The lake is a gathering place where locals and visitors swim, sail, and picnic along the shores during warmer months. The beaches and waterfront areas fill with families and sports enthusiasts who make regular use of the space.

The lake has multiple entry points and parking areas, with the main beach at Chambon offering the best facilities. During summer months, supervised swimming areas and equipment rental services are available for water sports.

Chambon beach features a water park with inflatable play structures and recreational elements for visitors. These leisure facilities make the location stand out as a destination for families and children.
