LAC DU BOURGET

The 'Lac du Bourget' ("Lake of Le Bourget") is a lake in the Savoie ''département'' of France. It is the largest and the deepest lake of the country. The most important town on its shore is Aix-les-Bains. Chambéry, the préfecture of Savoie, lies about 10 km south of the lake. The lake is named after the town Le Bourget-du-Lac, on its south shore. It is mainly fed by the river Leysse (and other small rivers), and drains towards the river Rhône through the ''canal de Savières'', an artificial channel.
