Around the end of October, when the lake's water level is at its lowest, the remains of tree stumps from before the lake was flooded in 1974 can still be seen. There are also beehives.

Lentilles Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The Saint-Jacques-et-Saint-Philippe church in Lentille is eye-catching with its timber-framed architecture and cob façades. It was built during the 16th century and was restored to its original appearance in the 1970s.

Saint-Nicolas d'Outines church

Highlight • Historical Site

In southern Champagne, between the Lac du Der-Chantecoq and the lakes of the Forêt d'Orient, there are a number of half-timbered churches (Eglises en pans de bois) from the 16th to 18th centuries. Without exception, the churches are located in smaller towns that lacked the financial resources for a stone building at the time of construction. Today the churches are considered special historical witnesses that have been renovated in recent years. They are accessible to tourists through a “Street of Half-timbered Churches” that connects some of the churches.

The Church of Saint Nicholas was built around 1600.
