Espace EDF Truyère de Couesques (groupes)
Located in the former control room of the Couesques hydroelectric dam (1950), the Espace EDF Truyère is a place to discover the industrial heritage of the Truyère and Lot rivers, and a place to learn about water and energy
The site, operated by EDF, consists of a generating station and dam built between 1945 and 1950. Inside, an information area welcomes the public to discover the history of hydroelectricity in a fun, interactive way. By looking into the engine room or listening to the turbines start up, visitors can understand how these structures work and the role that the oldest of energies, hydropower, plays in the energy transition.
