    A dam on the Colagne river created this Charpal lake. It supplies the town of Mende with drinking water. The Charpal site was originally chosen in 1925 to create an underwater munitions depot.



    This strange project never took place, because the lake was not deep enough and did not allow the immersion of the powder.

        Lake Charpal is an artificial lake whose origin is quite strange since it was initially designed to store surplus ammunition underwater at the end of the 14-18 war. After construction, the project was finally abandoned. Today, it is a magnificent natural site in the heart of Margeride.
