Port Titi does not owe its name to the colourful boats on the blue water, but to Maurice Maire Sébille, also called "Titi", a pike fisherman who built the first fishing hut here in 1902.

This lake, known for its bright blue water, crosses the Doubs in a 'valley'. This lake once formed one large body of water together with Lake Remoray. The lake is 6.3 km long and 800m wide, making it the fourth largest natural lake in France. In winter it freezes. By constructing a dam on the north side, it helps regulate the water of the Doubs.

Third largest natural lake in France with its 398 hectares. Whatever the season, we never tire of observing it from the road.
