The barrage d’Enchanet (Enchanet reservoir) was the first dam built on the Maronne River. Its waters snake through the villages of Pleaux, Arnac and Saint-Christophe-les-Gorges. Built after the Second World War, the work began in 1946 and the dam was operational in 1950. Its shape is a type of “sloped vault” in concrete. Its highest waterfall is 66m.
Its reservoir has a capacity of 92,7 m³. With its flooding, two villages disappeared: L’Espont and Rodomont – Bas. During a short walk (2h - 6km) you will admire the Maronne gorge and several views of the reservoir lake.
