Guerlédan Dam

Nestled in the dip between the hills, Lake Guerlédan meanders through the Blavet Valley, each turn showing a different facet of its personality. Great for family walks and swimming, it is also a perfect playground for climbers, water skiers and hikers.

Barrage de Guerlédan

Barrage de Guerlédan

At the end of the First World War, electricity was a precious and scarce commodity, especially in rural areas. The construction of a 40-metre-high dam, in a place called Guerlédan, to supply electricity to nearly a third of Brittany, was seen as madness. It took the audacity of sub-prefect Joseph Ratier and the determination of engineer Auguste Leson for the project to see the light of day. Lake Guerlédan dam’s power station is still used today at times of high electric consumption.
