Started in 1935, the construction of the Eagle Dam was completed only in 1945. It was nicknamed the «Resistance Dam», because its construction site housed the Cantal Army Resistance Organization during World War II. The shadow amée voluntarily delayed its construction, so as not to offer additional energy power to the occupier. The Eagle Dam is also distinguished by its architecture. It is 290 m long and 90 m high. The construction of a fifth production group in 1982 makes it the most powerful EDF in the Dordogne basin with an installed power of 360 MW.

beau barrage
Excellent, à faire et voir absolument, lors de votre tournée des barrages et retenue d'eau du Cantal (Bort les orgues aussi). ici c'est peu connu mais grandiose et reposant, le site est de toute beauté. parking à ses extrémités et possibilité de cheminement pédestre sur le haut du barrage EDF.
