Barrage de l'Aigle
Description
The Aigle dam stands out for the originality of its architecture, with its double spillways, and its impressive dimensions: 290 m long and 90 m high. The construction of a fifth generating unit in 1982 made it the most powerful EDF facility in the Dordogne basin, with an installed capacity of 360 MW. It is also nicknamed "the dam of resistance". Its construction, from 1935 to 1945, was deliberately delayed by the Cantal Army Resistance Organization during the 2nd World War, so as not to give the occupying forces access to additional power.
2 tours are available:
- Self-guided tour of the model and hut (duration 1h)
- Guided tour of the plant (inside the dam) and model (duration 1h45)
