Lac de Panthier, Artificial lake in Commarin, France
The reservoir extends across 130 hectares, featuring sand beaches and two wooded hills called Petit Montot and Grand Montot near the shoreline.
The lake was constructed to supply water to the Burgundy Canal, contributing to the development of regional water resources and transportation infrastructure.
The ornithological reserve includes protected bird species nesting areas, making it an important site for regional biodiversity conservation.
Between July 9 and August 28, lifeguards monitor the beach area, while a 4.6-kilometer path allows visitors to walk around the entire lake.
The lake maintains specific fishing regulations for pike catches, requiring anglers to obtain permits and follow minimum size requirements for their catches.
