This is the cathedral of Langres.

This gate owes its name to the old mills located outside the fortifications to harness the wind (the "Bel'air," which gave the square its name). It is part of the bastion fortifications built south of the city walls between 1642 and 1647.

A beautiful local recreation area for hiking, swimming, and other recreational activities. The path around the lake is more suitable for hiking than cycling. We still managed it, though.

Small wooden pontoon that allows you to go a few meters beyond the shore, offering a view of almost the entire lake and the dam. A place full of serenity, very relaxing panorama.
