    Hiking

    What you don't see when you walk here: this lake exists thanks to sheer stubbornness.
    When the La Joyante River was dammed in the 1970s, no one believed the lake would ever amount to anything. Too isolated, too wild.
    But nature had other plans.
    Today, the water is so calm that you almost forget how much effort it once took to tame this landscape.

    Sidiailles Lake is an artificial lake that covers 90 hectares and supplies 35 municipalities with drinking water. It is possible to explore the paths that follow the banks of the Arnon and the Joyeuse.
