It's beautiful, it's tempting, but it's not.

To enjoy the frozen lakes in the Puy-de-Dôme, please stay on the shore.

With a thermometer below 0, Lake Guéry has become a life-size ice rink of 25 hectares, tells France 3 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

Ditto for Lake Servières, also of volcanic origin, at an altitude of 1200 metres.

The local television filmed a 5-year-old boy there, adventuring on skates on the ice.

The toddler, interviewed, is having fun (halfway): "I don't want it to crack and I don't want to fall into the water".

The tone of the authorities is colder.

Last weekend, the gendarmes fined about twenty adults, sometimes accompanied by children, reports

A prefectural decree prohibits setting foot (and skates) there and the soldiers of the Mountain Gendarmerie Platoon (PGM) recall the risks: "You can have a place with 10 to 15 cm of ice, but it is not not sufficient to ensure safety.

In another place, there may be nothing at all and it may creak.

It is an immediate mortal risk.

Between hypothermia, the risk of drowning and the difficulties of access for help, there is a great danger”.


In Haute-Savoie, a 14-year-old schoolboy died on January 19 in a swamp after having ventured with a friend on the ice, who broke under their weight.
