Maar-type volcano. Lava and water met in the depths of the earth's crust to create a large crater at the origin of the current lake.
Access: between Cayres and Bouchet-St-Nicolas (D312). Parking: near the lake. Other: geological interpretation desks.
Surrounded by greenery, this lake is nestled in one of the most beautiful maar craters in all of Auvergne. This lake with pure water and suitable for swimming has just been awarded the “Blue Flag” label, which testifies to the environmental quality of the site.
The 3 km walk around the lake is very pleasant and accessible to the whole family.
