バーネイのおすすめツーリングルート

Beautiful and very pleasant for a break!

Lake Sentons is the most famous lake in Morvan: fishing, water sports and walking.

It's a must-see in Burgundy; its 366 hectares make it one of the six large lakes in the Morvan Regional Natural Park. Located in the heart of the Morvan National Park, at an altitude of 590 meters, Lac des Settons (or "chettons" in Morvan) is, like all the lakes in the Morvan region, an artificial lake. Built between 1850 and 1858, south of Montsauche-les-Settons, it facilitated the floating of timber from the Morvan forests to Paris.

Too beautiful!

Beautiful lake!

The third president of France (Patrice de Mac Mahon (1808-1893)) was born here. Weddings are still held here regularly.

Lake Settons, located in the heart of the Morvan Regional Natural Park, is a true paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Surrounded by forests and verdant hills, this artificial lake offers numerous opportunities: swimming, sailing, kayaking, and hiking along its peaceful shores. Its well-equipped beaches are ideal for a family day out.

You can cycle all the way around the lake on paths and wooden bridges, although it can get busy with bathers, walkers and other cyclists.
