Lac de Panthier

Lac de Panthier is an artificial lake near Commarin featuring sandy beaches and two wooded hills that frame the shoreline. The water body covers a large area and is surrounded by natural vegetation.

The lake was created in the 20th century to supply water to the Burgundy Canal and support regional infrastructure development. It has remained an important part of the local water network ever since.

The site hosts nesting areas for water bird species that breed and rest here throughout the year. Walking around the shoreline offers chances to spot these birds in their natural habitat.

A walking path circles the entire lake, allowing visitors to explore the full shoreline on foot at a leisurely pace. During summer months, lifeguards are posted at the beach area for water safety.

The lake is governed by specific fishing rules, particularly for pike catches, which require permits and adherence to minimum size standards. These regulations help maintain healthy fish populations.
