Lake Sidiailles
Highlight • Other
When the La Joyante River was dammed in the 1970s, no one believed the lake would ever amount to anything. Too isolated, too wild.
But nature had other plans.
Today, the water is so calm that you almost forget how much effort it once took to tame this landscape.

La passerelle du Lac de Sidiailles
Highlight • Other
Hidden among the greenery, you'll find this impressive suspension bridge connecting the two shores of Lac de Sidiailles.
It wobbles slightly as you walk across it…
The bridge is part of the walking path around the lake and offers one of the most beautiful views of the valley and the granite cliffs.

Ruins of the Château de la Roche-Guillebaud
Highlight • Other
What many people don't know: beneath these ruins lies an ancient underground passage that once connected the castle to the village of Saint-Éloy-d'Allier.
An escape route? A smuggling trail? No one knows for sure...

The barrage
Highlight • Other
The dam itself isn't a thing of beauty, but the contrast with the still lake above is precisely what makes it special.
