The Lac des Settons is the largest lake in the Morvan regional natural park. It is an important leisure center for all water sports practitioners, and an undeniable tourist attraction.

The Lac des Settons is a reservoir in the French department of Nièvre, located about 30 kilometers northwest of Autun.

The dammed since 1858 lake is 3.6 km ² in size and is considered one of the most important reservoir of the Morvan.

It accumulates from the river Cure, as well as some other streams and represents an important water sport center of the region. The dam of the Lac des Settons was like that of the 11 km southwest lying Lac de Pannecière Chaumard of the German Reich as one of the reparation payments of the Versailler Contract built after the lost World War I. When the waters of Lac de Pannecière-Chaumard are drained, a preserved road bridge, which once crossed the river, still appears today.
Here we spent a first quiet night at a simple Campinmgplatz with a magnificent evening panorama.
