Lac de Lavaud Gelade

With a surface area of 300 hectares, Lac de Lavaud Gelade is one of the largest lakes in the Creuse after Lac de Vassivière. It is a wild and unspoilt site, with a varied landscape and remarkable flora and fauna. This artificial lake, built in 1943 on the Taurion river, is located in the Millevaches Regional Nature Park, between meadows, moors, coniferous and deciduous forests, wetlands and peat bogs. It has been classified as a Natura 2000 zone.

Wilder than Lac de Vassivière, this 2nd category lake is much appreciated by nature lovers and anglers alike. It boasts a high density of white fish, predators (pike, perch, zander) and cyprinids. It is equipped with 10 spots for night carp fishing. A hiking trail takes you around this green, watery setting (topo chamina). You can also enjoy
