Le Lac Pavin - Reserva de mesa

Magnificent volcanic lake, always under surveillance because of the maar type, so phreatomagmatic and potentially explosive (his name Pavin is drawn from the Latin pavens, appalling). Its depth of 82 m makes it the deepest lake in the Puys chain. It is a recent formation, of the order of 6900 years. It is a meromic lake, i.e. not subtracting from the water more deeply than 60 m, those between 60 and 92 m accumulating gas carbon dioxide, nitrogen, methane and hydrogen sulphide, related to the decomposition of organic matter and which gives it a nausea odor.

Beautiful place made with our two dogs (mandatory smooth) in 1 hour to ready for the complete round, very clean but also very busy because very accessible! Car parking near the lake easy to park, toilet and souvenir shop on site

The lake tower is worth it, in less than 1 hour at a quiet pace, the atmosphere is superb. There are some very curious lava samples.

The only lake in France, where there is no oxygen exchange between 90m and 60m depth.
