    The Lac des Settons dam is the oldest in Morvan. It was built in the 18th century to facilitate the transport of logs to the Paris region, in order to heat Paris. This method was used for more than 300 years, until 1850. Today, the Lac des Settons dam is a tourist spot where you can cycle around.
