Barrage de Guerlédan

The Barrage de Guerlédan (1923–30) on the Blavet River created Brittany’s largest reservoir, flooding valleys once home to farms and hamlets. During rare drainings, the drowned landscape reappears, with locks, houses, and fields revealed. The dam reflects both industrial ambition and the transformation of rural life, where hydroelectric power reshaped Brittany’s land and memory.
