Did you know?

Lake Der is an artificial lake. Fifty years ago, work was undertaken to regulate the flow of the Marne, one of the tributaries of the Seine. It was an extraordinary gamble but has provided the region with a unique natural site, the perfect spot for a weekend away. And a lovely place for locals to enjoy. Today, it is a vital habitat for local wildlife, including common cranes. In fact, it is so important that Lake Der encompasses four Natura 2000-labelled sites.
