Kir Lake is an artificial body of water that is traversed by the Ouche River and was built in 1964. It was built by the then mayor, Felix Kir, who the lake is also named after. Just a stone’s throw away from the central hub of Dijon, you’ll feel like you’re in a whole other world; the surroundings are instilled with a peacefulness created by the breathtaking view of the water and trees that occupy it. You can spend your time strolling along the banks, swimming during designated seasons, taking in the flora and fauna, going for a bike ride on the trails, or even camping there overnight.
