Well worth a visit. For walking, as a destination when hiking. Is idyllic in a side valley surrounded by orchards and pastures. There is a managed hut on the south bank. There is also a sunbathing area.
In Greek mythology, Silenus (French: Silène) is a satyr, adoptive father and teacher of the god Dionysus, who constantly accompanies him. He is also the god who embodies drunkenness.
