Lake Pavin is a marvel, yet the name Pavin from which it comes means appalling. Its circular shape leaves no doubt as to its origin: a gigantic volcanic explosion. When we look at its calm waters, it is difficult to imagine how dreadful its creation some 6,900 years ago was. The explosion that formed it was indeed very violent: traces of this maar were found even in the sediments of Lake Geneva in Switzerland.

In one of my old hiking diaries, I wrote about Lac Chauvet: “At the end of the afternoon, my feet soak in the soft and cool waters of Lac Chauvet. Impressive in its strict circularity, the lake is the culmination of a maar; in other words, the meeting underground of a magma and a water table. As a good soloist, I try to observe the rare movements of the lake which could betray the presence of fish. According to the signs planted near the one and only pontoon of the body of water, trout, carp and even salmon would have taken up residence there”.
