Tips from locals
One of the largest dams in the world. Guided tour inside the dam and a small hike to the top, as well as longer ones in the surroundings. Open in summer only. Beware, it can be pretty cold up there.
Une des vues les plus impressionnantes sur un ouvrage humain colossal. C'est le plus grand barrage d'Europe, propriété à 50% de la ville de Paris. One of the most impressive views of a colossal human work. It is the largest dam in Europe, owned 50% of the city of Paris.
Absolutely astonishing. Make a day trip to the highest dam in Europe. 20 minutes by car or 4 hours walking from Mon Bijou. You can also hike around the Lac de Dix, gorgeous!
Relatively easy two hour climb to mountain cabin in the midst of capricorn and marmot country.
