    The Gouffre d'Enfer dam was erected at the request of Napoleon III. It is one of the first “masonry arch weight” dams in Europe. If the name inspires little confidence, this place is sublime, especially in autumn when the colors of the forest change.

        Beautiful stairs allow you to go up this impressive dam from behind to reach its summit and the lake.
