    This superb Crescent lake is a dam lake which is located on the course of the Cure. All in length, it is suitable for swimming.

    Crescent Lake owes its name to its crescent shape. It is popular with local fishermen and also with swimmers who can visit its beach to cool off. Camping is also permitted.
    This lake, with its exceptionally bucolic setting, was chosen as the location in 2015 by Michel Gondry for filming his movie Microbe and Gazoil.
