LAKE DE BONLIEU
Read moreAre you looking for a typical Jura landscape, between the Pic de l'Aigle and the plateau of Champagnole? This glacial lake, set in a cirque with wooded slopes, offers sublime landscapes. With a surface area of 22 hectares (if peat bogs are taken into account), it is very deep. Its "black" waters, which intrigue and even worry some, spread over 700 metres long and 300 metres wide. It is very rich in whitefish, Arctic char, roaches, perch and other fish. Around 1170, Thibert de Montmorot founded a charterhouse closed in 1791 and converted it into a weapons factory. The western shoreline is made up of peat bogs. On the east bank, a path allows you to go for a walk and discover various landscapes: undergrowth, wet meadows, peat bogs, reeds, water lilies, rushes... The most courageous will walk to a lookout with a bird's eye view of the lake. The laziest will drive to the belvedere of La Ronde and its exceptional panorama: Pic de l'Aigle, Bonlieu, Ilay and Maclu lakes. Attention! The western shoreline is not trafficable.
