The lake was created in 1944 and feeds Lac de Vassivière through an underground aquaduct providing hydroelectric power. The site is classified as a Natura 2000 area as a natural area of ecological, faunal and floristic interest. This particular place is an ideal place to relax and enjoy the lake and the beach.

The Lavaud Gelade lake, with an area of 300 hectares, is one of the largest in the Creuse. Created in 1943 on the Taurion River, this Natura 2000 classified lake is quite wild and very calm. It is intended more for fishing than for swimming.

Lac de Lavaud Gelade with an area of 300 hectares. It is one of the largest in Creuse, just a few kilometers from Lac de Vassivière.
It is classified Natura 2000, and retains a wild side. The calm is very appreciable there.
