Drained Lakebed

When the Barrage de Guerlédan is drained, the sunken valley reappears, revealing cracked earth, moss, and remnants of stone walls. These ruins recall farms, hamlets, and locks once thriving before the dam’s construction (1923–30). The exposed lakebed offers a rare glimpse into landscapes erased by hydroelectric progress, where memory and loss resurface from Brittany’s past.
