The Pavin lake in Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise where the legend tells that the smallest pebble thrown in it triggers impetuous storms.
According to the legend, Satan would have filled it and it would be the door of hell. Its name comes from the Latin pavens, which means frightful. Its calm, dark waters form an almost perfect circular surface. It is said that the smallest pebble thrown into it triggers impetuous storms. That doesn't scare the fishermen who come here to fish for trout or arctic char. Scientists have been studying the characteristics of this crater lake for a long time. Its water is cold and well oxygenated, around 4°C at the bottom...
