Lac des Brenets


Lac des Brenets or Lac de Chaillexon is a lake on the Doubs River on the border of Switzerland and France.

Characteristics

The depression in which the lake lies was formed by the movements of a glacier, while the lake itself was formed by a natural barrier around 12 000 years ago. At the downstream end is a waterfall known as the Saut du Doubs. A few hundred metres away, a bridge connects the French and Swiss sides of the lake.
