The Lac du Der is a resort that can satisfy the whole family! Some presentation:

History of Lac du Der

Filled with water in 1974, the Der lake is the largest artificial lake in France. Covering an area of ??48 km2, it was designed to regulate the level of rivers feeding the Seine and preserve Paris from a flood like those of 1910 and 1924. Its construction required the destruction of some villages and the displacement of historic buildings such as the church at the foot of which we will stay and race. If originally the project has generated a number of adverse reactions, it is now accepted by all and a strong tourist activity grew around the lake.
