Unobstructed view of Lake Lastouille, which is very popular for swimming and fishing. It is entirely bordered by forests and summer pastures and is one of the largest water reservoirs in the Dordogne basin. Absolutely perfect for a dip in hot weather!

The Bort dam is a structure 120 meters high and 390 meters long, straddling the municipalities of Bort and Lanobre, and creating a reservoir of more than 10 km2. Built between 1942 and 1952, it was then a veritable concrete juggernaut and today it remains one of the largest dams in France (and still the third in mainland France if we look at the quantity of water retained by a concrete construction). It is also the first and largest reservoir in the hydroelectric system of the Dordogne valley.

If you want to enjoy stunning views of the village of Saint-Genès-Champespe and its surroundings, you can hike up to the Saint-Sébastien church, which is perched on a hill overlooking the village. Built in 1907, the church is decorated with a bronze sculpture of a Salers cow, a local breed. From the church you can enjoy a panoramic view of the forests, lakes and mountains of the Auvergne region. You can also see Lake Laspialade and Lake Crégut, two magnificent lakes. It is an ideal place to admire the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Saint-Genès-Champespe.

Gorgeous

Don't go here, from the south side there is a sign: Access Interdit. And the track is not worth it. Actually for the largest part there is no track at all! (need to find your way over grassland)
