Vouglans Dam

Highlight • Lake

Built in 1968, the Vouglans dam is the source of the 3rd largest water reservoir in France in terms of its volumetric capacity after the Serre-Ponçon and Sainte-Croix lakes. The emerald color of the lake water is of natural origin. It would be due to the presence of calcite grains attaching to the phytoplankton.
