Plan d'eau de Monieux, Artificial lake in Monieux, Vaucluse, France.

The lake covers approximately 2.5 hectares at an elevation of 620 meters, fed primarily by the Nesque River, and provides a recreational space with picnic areas, a playground, and a snack bar for visitors throughout the year.

The lake was constructed several decades ago to address local needs for irrigation and water storage, reflecting the regional development in water resource management and contributing to the agricultural and domestic water supply in the area.

The site serves as a gathering point for the local community and visitors who enjoy fishing, walking, and nature observation, particularly during summer when regional celebrations like the lavender festival attract people to the surrounding Provençal countryside.

Access to the lake is free and available year-round, with amenities including parking for motorhomes, children's play area, and fishing opportunities requiring a permit available from local shops in nearby Sault, located less than one kilometer from the village.

The lake is located at the entrance to the Nesque Gorges, offering visitors a starting point to explore the renowned natural rock formations and hiking trails that provide views over the deep valley and the surrounding Mont Ventoux regional park.

Elevation above the sea: 620 m
