Lake Pellaud is a perfect fairytale setting for admiring the twilight, whose splendid atmosphere is reflected in its clear, frozen waters. Together with the chalet of the same name nestled on its shores, it seems to have come straight out of one of those fairytale books our grandparents used to read to us just before kissing us goodnight. It is a watercolour painting using soft, magical colours to create a romantic atmosphere.
