▲ France's second-largest artificial lake, where emerald waters intertwine with limestone cliffs to create a fairy-tale landscape. The lake's color isn't just green - under sunlight, it transforms into a crystal-clear turquoise. You can boat across the lake, navigate through canyons, and even jump off the boat for a swim if you're feeling adventurous. Many brave visitors, both adults and children, dive from the canyon cliffs, making you truly admire their courage and carefree spirit!
