The Clairvaux lakes also have a history dating back thousands of years. Since prehistoric times, the two lakes have been home to the remains of a perfectly preserved lake town in the depths of the lake. Several tens of thousands of archaeological finds have been collected here. In summer, an exhibition presents the site and the archaeological research in the village hall of Clairvaux Les Lacs: expo@clairvaux-les-lacs.com
