FRANCE. HAUTES-ALPES (05) LAC DE SERRE-PONCON. THE RECORD LOW LEVEL REACHED BY THE LAKE WAS MEASURED ON 15 APRIL 2018 (NGF 732). THIS RESERVOIR IS THE RESULT OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SERRE-PONCON DAM ON THE DURANCE RIVER IN 1959, JUST UNDER TWO KILOMETRES DOWNSTREAM OF ITS CONFLUENCE WITH THE UBAYE. THE CREATION OF THIS BODY OF WATER NECESSITATED THE RELOCATION OF MORE THAN A THOUSAND INHABITANTS, AS WELL AS THE DESTRUCTION OF MORE THAN 400 BUILDINGS AND TWO SUBMERGED VILLAGES.

Construction Of The BRF Jacques Stosskopf - Saint-Nazaire

The Jacques Stosskopf, the second Bâtiment Ravitailleur de Forces (BRF) of the French Navy, is seen docked at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire. Launched on August 19, 2024, this 194-meter vessel is set to undergo sea trials in spring 2025, with delivery expected in summer 2025. Designed to replace the aging Durance-class tankers, the BRF will ensure fuel, ammunition, and supply support for naval operations worldwide. Named in honor of Jacques Stosskopf, a French naval engineer and resistance fighter, the ship pays tribute to his courage and sacrifice during World War II. Stosskopf, who secretly aided the Allies while working at the Lorient submarine base, was executed by the Nazis in 1944 for espionage. Saint-Nazaire, France – March 22, 2025.
