Its construction began in 1956 and the impoundment took place in 1964, immersing the Bayard valley and forcing around twenty families to leave their homes. When the level of the lake is low, you may be lucky enough to see some submerged remains of a XNUMXth century bridge, which was not destroyed during the impoundment.
