Lake Bourget

                Lake Bourget (Lac du Bourget) is a lake at the southernmost end of the Jura Mountains in the department of Savoie, France. It is the largest and the deepest lake located entirely within France. The lake was formed during the last period of global glaciation in the Alps (Würm glaciation) during the Pleistocene epoch. It has a surface area of 44.5 km2 (4,450 hectares). 
                The following settlements: Aix-les-Bains, Le Bourget-du-Lac, Brison-Saint-Innocent, Conjux. Chambéry, the capital of Savoie, lies about 10 km south of the lake. The lake is bordered by the steep summits of the Mont du Chat and the Chaîne de l'Épine on the west, and Bauges Mountains on the east, which form its shores.
