The lake's water level is at its highest at the end of June, and at its lowest at the end of October - at that time, a large part of the lake is flooded, and the remains of the stumps of the former trees can still be seen.

After having crisscrossed the surrounding paths, a pleasant little stop to, as they say in the jargon, get your cherry back on!!!

An engaging exhibition about the three former villages, with the project seeming relevant today, as people lost their homes in the past. It was very enlightening to learn more about the crafts and the people in the region. Exceptional exhibition!!!

Beautiful picnic area in Couvrot at the Écluse No. 2, the Véloroute 52, and the Voie Verte du Canal Latéral à la Marne with bike racks, trash cans, seating, shade, and a "La Marne à Velo" cycle path information board.

The museum village is absolutely worth a visit. The video explains the history of the lake. The museum staff are extremely accommodating. So, don't miss it!
