Lect, Jura

Lect is a commune in the Jura department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in eastern France. The hamlet of Vouglans has been attached to Lect since 1822.

Population
The large population decrease after 1968 can be explained by the construction of the dam, the reservoir of the hydro-electric power station of the Lac de Vouglans, which required a workforce of more than 500 for five years in the 1960s.
