A remarkable hydroelectric heritage!
The Vassivière dam, located on the Maulde river, supplies water to the Mazet underground hydroelectric plant at Peyrat-le-Château. In addition to producing electricity for 40,000 people a year (the equivalent of the town of Brive), this site helps to maintain the low-water level of the Vienne river and, thanks to its lake, is a major tourist attraction in the heart of the Limousin region.
Find out more about this industrial site, how it works, its history and the jobs of the people who work there!
Identity document MANDATORY with the first and last name given in the booking.
