Built in 1968, the Vouglans dam is the source of the 3rd largest water reservoir in France in terms of its volumetric capacity after the Serre-Ponçon and Sainte-Croix lakes. The emerald color of the lake water is of natural origin. It would be due to the presence of calcite grains attaching to the phytoplankton.

View of Lake Vouglans

Highlight • Viewpoint

This view of Lake Vouglans is a breathtaking panorama of deep blue waters framed by rolling hills and lush green forests. As you approach, the lake stretches for an impressive 35 kilometres. Vouglans is the third largest artificial lake in France, created by the construction of the Vouglans Dam.

Pyle Bridge

Highlight • Lake

The Pyle bridge is a monumental building 385 meters long and 65 meters high above water level. It spans Lake Vouglans and connects the towns of Maisod and Orgelet.

It is equipped with two sidewalks allowing pedestrians to cross it safely. And it's worth it as the view is clear. Spectacular panorama in perspective.

The tour was actually supposed to be completely different, but my cold/flu is tougher than I thought.
I noticed that pretty quickly. (Legs and pump are in good shape, but there is this pressure on the ears, sinus pain and snot). We then spontaneously changed the tour.
So we took a leisurely ride around the lake. Beautiful, often quiet and …
