From the dam, you can enjoy a wide view over the reservoir. The striking reddish-brown banks contrast beautifully with the water and the wooded hills of the Vosges in the background.

The Bassin de Champagney (or Champagney Reservoir) is an impressive artificial reservoir with a surface area of 107 hectares, located in the French department of Haute-Saône (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region). The reservoir is situated in the southern foothills of the Vosges and was built between 1882 and 1905 to supply water to the never fully completed Canal de la Haute-Saône. Today, the lake has a capacity of 13 million m³ and is a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers, and fishermen.

Rustig dorpsmonument in Champagney, opgericht ter nagedachtenis aan de inwoners die sneuvelden in de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Donkere steen met gouden inscripties en een palmblad‑gravure, typisch voor de regio. Ligt in het gehucht Lüders, midden in het Parc naturel régional des Ballons des Vosges.

A quiet natural campsite on the lakes of Champagney, ideal for cyclists exploring the Ballons region. Perfectly located for the great Vosges climbs and known as a starting point for Les 3 Ballons.

Just a short walk from the city centre, the Montbéliard marina offers a pleasant stop for strolling along the banks of the Rhône-Rhine canal.
