What is the connection between the Lac des Rouges Truites in the Jura and this lake located in the Alpilles?

It's worth taking a hike there if you're nearby.

Lake Peïroou is one of the most beautiful sites in the Alpilles massif. It is formed by a dam created in 1891 to supply the fountains of the village of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The name "Peïroou" comes from the Provençal which refers to the natural cavities in the rock due to erosion.

Lac-des-Rouges-Truites is located at 940 m, about 17 kilometers south-southeast of the city of Champagnole (as the crow flies). The scattered settlement community extends in the Jura, in the northeast of the extensive high plateau of Grandvaux, east of the Lemme, at the northwest foot of the forest heights of the Forêt du Mont Noir.

Lake Peiroou is also associated with the “Pirou” dam, the first known arch dam, which was intended to supply water to the Glanum site. Consult the latest information, particularly on access by motor vehicle on: Latest information concerning Lake Peiroou
