du Barrage in Hérémence

Friendly place in the heart of the village to have a coffee!

Excellent welcome always with a smile, breathtaking view. Lieu frequented without moderation.

Huge and impressive dam with a height of 285 meters. It is the more massive dam with this height in the world. It was built between 1953 and 1961, and 6 million cubic meters of concrete were used to achieve the structure. The huge reservoir created is called "Lac de Dix" - Lake Dix, meaning ten in French. You can drive up to the base of the dam and park your car there. There is a cable car taking you up to the top where you can walk on the verge of the dam and admire the scenery. It's just stunning.

Small but welcoming, good breakfast and small store
