Le Sauze-du-Lac

Le Sauze-du-Lac (, literally Le Sauze of the Lake; Lo Sause dau Lac) is a commune in the Hautes-Alpes department in southeastern France.

Geography
Situated below the Pic du Morgon mountain, Le Sauze du Lac lies on a promontory sticking out between the two sides of the Lac de Serre-Ponçon. This used to be the meeting point, or confluence, of the Ubaye and Durance rivers. The village is located 9.1km south east of Savines-le-Lac, and 20.6km from the capital of the departement, Gap, Hautes-Alpes.

History
Le Sauze du Lac, previously just Le Sauze, is located above the Lac de Serre Poncon. The village was moved after its original site was flooded by the lake in the early 1960s.
