View of the Lac du Verdon dam

Highlight • Other

The dam itself is made up of two sets: a long curved dike made of rock on the upstream side, with a grassy embankment on the downstream side; a reinforced core in the form of six concrete vaults.
The reservoir, with a surface area of 220 ha, stretches as far as Maulévrier, on the edge of Deux-Sèvres. Fishing is tolerated there, as is sailing in summer. The rest of the activities are subject to greater restrictions than at the Ribou dam.
This is justified by the classification as a natural zone of ecological, fauna and flora interest (ZNIEFF) of the perimeter. In fact, more than 200 species of migrants have been counted there throughout the year.

Lake Ribou

Highlight • Lake

Lac Ribou is a beautiful lake where you can admire the view of the water and the surrounding forest. The trail is moderately difficult, with some elevation gain and varied terrain. It is open all year round and is suitable for dogs on a leash.
