Can you introduce yourself?

A native of the region, Serre-Ponçon cradled my childhood in boats, sails and kayaks... After my studies and numerous trips, I returned to my native land, realizing that my "cradle" was a paradise; all the corners of the world, even the most beautiful, have nothing to envy it.

If I say Serre-Ponçon, what comes to mind?

Serre-Ponçon: this lake, my 28-hectare lake, its turquoise waters and inaccessible coves... from the mouth of the Durance at Embrun to the dam in the Ubaye valley, this lake remains wild, an unspoilt environment, a place steeped in history!

Tell us about your business?

My " lake discovery boat My "lake discovery boat" activity lets you discover Serre-Ponçon through the eyes of a local! A dozen passengers board our prestigious mahogany boat, built in 1950! Another trip is possible aboard our semi-rigid boat, a veritable merry-go-round to the delight of children and adults alike. The boats thread their way through mythical sites and anecdotes recounting the history of the lake. Then we drop anchor in the calanques, leaving our passengers to take to the water or enjoy a homemade génépi.

Why did you choose Serre-Ponçon as the location for your business? What do you love most about your job?

Throughout all these years, I've remained passionate abouthelping people discover Serre-Ponçon, my lake, off the beaten track. My wish is that all our passengers will have unforgettable memories of their ride.

What's your favorite boating spot on Lac de Serre-Ponçon?

I don't have a favorite site on the lake. It's full of history, emblematic places to suit all tastes and landscapes that change with the passing hours of the day... One of the must-dos is undoubtedly to discover the lake at sunset while enjoying an aperitif!

Your tip for an unforgettable vacation in Serre Ponçon?

The lake has to be earned! Climb up, take in the view, your eyes will be filled with the beauty of this landscape, then come back down and take a boat, set off to discover this little inland sea with its surrounding mountains that exude this imperceptible but ever-present force.
