The Bassin de Champagney (or Champagney Reservoir) is an impressive artificial reservoir with a surface area of 107 hectares, located in the French department of Haute-Saône (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region). The reservoir is situated in the southern foothills of the Vosges and was built between 1882 and 1905 to supply water to the never fully completed Canal de la Haute-Saône. Today, the lake has a capacity of 13 million m³ and is a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers, and fishermen.

The Champagney basin was built in 1882 to supply canals.
If the stone dam impresses, the shore of the basin is essentially in its natural state outside the dam.
Many fish inhabit this basin, it is thus possible to fish there from the shore or from a boat.

Hiking
The Champagney basin is ideal for walking and the dam which borders it to the south is a great spectacle.
