The lakes of our planet constitute an immense and precious reserve of fresh water from which humans have drawn for tens of thousands of years. The apparent similarity of the lakes actually hides an extreme diversity. Some are as deep as oceans, others can almost be crossed on dry land. Some lakes aim for eternity while others are as ephemeral as a season. However, they have one thing in common: they all shelter, in their depths and on their banks, a rich and varied natural diversity. In contrast to the tumultuous water of the oceans and rivers, that of the lakes seems immutable and peaceful. But this tranquility hides a subtle aquatic breathing, a discreet natural rhythm. It is this secret lake life that we will try to capture during the ten episodes of our series. We will get into the rhythm of the remarkable lakes that we have chosen to present to you. We will discover how nature and humans have long lived in harmony with this natural rhythm. We will observe the lakes and try to understand them, but, even more, we will admire them because the changing spectacle they offer is of a striking beauty.
