This beautiful lake is the perfect destination for a walk, it is very easy to get there, so much so that it is a very popular destination for families. In summer, marmots roam everywhere. On the banks of the lake, on a small hill, there is the small chapel of Notre-Dame des Lumières.

Lac du Lauzanier is absolutely magnificent! Dominated by the small Notre-Dame des Lumières chapel, it offers a lovely panorama of the high peaks of Ubaye.

The small Notre-Dame des Lumières chapel stands on the north bank of Lac du Lauzanier. It is nothing more than an unadorned field stone building with a slate roof, but here you can relax and linger for a moment in this great atmosphere.
