Het Meer van Kruth-Wildenstein (Lac de Kruth-Wildenstein) is een prachtig, kunstmatig stuwmeer in de Elzas (departement Haut-Rhin), gelegen op een hoogte van 545 meter aan de voet van de Col d'Oderen. Met een oppervlakte van 81 hectare is dit diepblauwe meer omringd door beboste berghellingen een van de absolute parels van de Vogezen en een ideaal rust- of startpunt voor wielrenners.

423 people died; the death toll is sometimes given differently, as construction workers on the A8 autoroute, which was under construction at the time, were killed. Furthermore, not all victims have been found, as the tsunami reached the Mediterranean Sea, sweeping some away.

The initial tidal wave was reportedly up to 40 meters high and traveling at speeds of 70 km/h. It first reached the hamlets of Malpasset and Bozon, which were completely destroyed. About 20 minutes after the wall broke, it reached Fréjus, where the wave was still three meters high and buried large parts of the town in mud.

The dam wall collapsed suddenly and completely on the night of December 2, 1959, at 9:13 p.m. The exact time of the collapse could be reconstructed because it is known when the power was cut off by the flood wave. The wall was almost completely eroded by the force of the water. Only a few sections of the wall on the right bank (as seen in the direction of flow) remained standing. Fragments of the wall, some the size of a house, lie scattered over a distance of several hundred meters downstream.

The Sainte-Croix Dam (French: Barrage de Sainte-Croix) is a dam that dams the Verdon in France (Europe) on the border of the departments of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Var to form the Lac de Sainte-Croix.
