Thanks to the creation
of the "Rowing 1999-2009" plan by Brive-la-Gaillarde City,
the "Syndicate of Causse Corrézien" and its partners
(State, Department, City Council and the “Club des Sports Nautiques
de Brive“), a 3 million euro budget has been allocated to bring
the rowing facilities at the lake up to International Rowing Federation
(FISA) requirements.
This exceptional place, improved by the investments made, came up
to national standard in 1999, European standard in 2001 and full FISA
international standard in 2004.
The lake is now
suitable for national and international events (e.g. the French Rowing
Championships and the World University Rowing Championships).
For the coming years, the lake hopes to welcome further World Championships,
as well as French national team and foreign training and selection
camps during preparation for the London Olympic Games in 2012.
