Go inside the dam and its factory!
From its 120 m height, the Bort-les-Orgues dam dominates the Dordogne valley and contains nearly 500 million m3 of water (200,000 Olympic swimming pools). It is the fourth largest restraint in France.
Come and discover its testing gallery and its 2 turbines of more than 40 tonnes each that produce the equivalent of the residential consumption of 130,000 people every year!
