Lake Vassivière
The lac de Vassivière or Vassivière Lake (French pronunciation: [vasivjɛʁ]; Vacivièra in Occitan), one of France's largest artificial lakes, is a large man-made reservoir of about 10 square kilometres (2,500 acres). It is situated on the Plateau de Millevaches in the départements of Creuse and Haute-Vienne. It is the largest area of water in the Limousin region of France and provides water supplies, hydroelectricity, and leisure facilities. With a maximum depth of 35m for 108 million m3. Relatively clean and varied funds with large plateaus, shoals, pits and a few stumps. Relatively gentle slopes. In 1995, following the emptying, a fish farming plan was put in place to repopulate it with cyprinids and predators (Amount of the operation: € 61,000). The lake is now mainly fry with cyprinids and pike. Every year at the end of September, at the beginning of October, the level of the lake is lowered voluntarily in order to be able to collect and store the water from the autumn rains and winter snowmelt which are very abundant in this region. The Lake is supplied mainly by the Maulde, the Taurion (via the Lavaud Gelade canal) and the Vienne via the Servière and Faux la Montagne dams. Other small streams also flow into its waters. There are five boat launches: Port Crozat (Auphelle), Pierrefitte, Port de Nergout, Port de Vauveix and Broussas. During strong winter tidal ranges, only the Broussas launch can be used. Winters are often synonymous with cold weather with dense snowfall. Summers, on the contrary, are very pleasant. The inter-seasons are rather mild with a cool and humid spring and an autumn often accompanied by the Indian summer. One of the islands in the lake covers 70 hectares of land
