Lac de Guerlédan, Drained!
Lac de Guerlédan, Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany, France 48º12’22″N 03º03'42″W
Lake Guerlédan is an artificial lake in the centre of Brittany, France. It extends across the borders of the departments of Morbihan and Côtes-d’Armor,.
This Lake was created to power the dam of Guerlédan. Construction took seven years from 1923 to 1930, and encountered many geological, technical and financial difficulties. The creation of the lake and especially that of the dam cut the through the Nantes-Brest canal which from this location, followed the course of the river Blavet. Seventeen of the old locks on the canal were submerged in the Lake. the Lake was regularly drained for repair, the last time being between April and November 2015, revealing a hidden landscape of submerged locks and buildings.
