Lac-des-Plages
Beaches, Beaches… and More Beaches!
The municipality of Lac-des-Plages, which was officially founded in 1950, was once known under the name of Lac Désormeaux. Then, it was called Lac Rond to finally take the name Lac-des-Plages, because of the many beautiful municipal beaches stretching along its lake. Nowadays, more than 400 people enjoy its outstanding décor and its abundant nature.
Nowadays, the municipality no longer exploits its forests, but concentrates its economy on the tourist potential of its territory.
