BATHING AT LAC DE SERRE-PONCON AND PLAN D'EAU D'EMBRUN
Lac de Serre-Ponçon
Lake Serre-Ponçon is a great place to relax, swim and fish. Of the lake's 90 km of shoreline, only 13 km are equipped for your enjoyment. Boat or paddle rides, kayaking or windsurfing in wilder bays, adrenaline-pumping on towed buoys or water-skiing... it's the ideal base camp! Elsewhere, nature is omnipresent.
Lac de Serre-Ponçon is the largest man-made lake in mainland France.
