This glacial lake, backed by limestone cliffs, is sometimes sapphire in color, sometimes emerald - Alexandre Dumas wrote in his book Impression de voyage in 1834: "This pretty little sapphire blue lake, set like a jewel, that nature would fear to lose."

Having passed there many times, especially by bike, I did not know the history of the brown ponds. Thank you for these explanations !

The Marron ponds have been labeled “Sensitive Natural Spaces” since 2015. They take their name from a family from Brénod. They were created around 1120 and once served as a water and fishing reserve for the monks of Meyriat Abbey.

The northern part of the lake borders the village of Port.
