Savines Le Lac
|
|
At the edge of the Ecrins National Park, and surrounded by high peaks (Le Morgon, Aiguilles de Chabrières and Mont Guillaume), Savines le Lac deserves its title of "green holiday resort". When Serre Ponçon lake was created, the rising waters eventually covered the old village of Savines, and so in the 1960's Savines le Lac was built. It is a smart agreeable village situated close to the lake, pleasantly exposed due south ( 300 days of sunshine per year!). H |

ere you will find several piers catering for the numerous water sports
available on Serre-Ponçon lake, all the necessary shops and numerous café
terraces looking out over the lake, carefully tended lawns, a pretty square
with a water jet in the middle, from where you will have a perfect view
of a fine white church built very much in the "sixties" style !
On market days at Savines Le Lac, you'll be able to fill your shopping
bag with lavander honey and fir honey, a huge selection of vegetables
of the season, local cold meats from the mountains, Provençal fabrics,
pottery and wooden toys produced by the local artisans, etc…
