Lac de Chaumeçon, Reservoir in Brassy, France.
Lac de Chaumeçon is a reservoir in the Morvan region surrounded by wooded hills and backed by a large water surface for recreation. The site features fishing areas, paddling zones, and multiple picnic spots distributed around the shoreline.
The lake was created between 1931 and 1933 when a dam flooded the valley, establishing a water storage system for regional needs. This engineering project permanently altered the landscape and became a key part of the area's water management.
The lake draws visitors seeking outdoor recreation, with its shoreline path serving as a popular route for walkers and cyclists discovering the wooded surroundings.
The lake is accessible via marked trails and clear entry points for all activities around the water. Bring appropriate gear for water conditions, as weather can change quickly on the open water.
The area features dedicated cycling routes such as Lorm'à vélo with themed paths through the surrounding landscape. These routes lead visitors to discover less-explored areas like the Chalaux meadows.
