The lake is of glacial origin and is based on a mysterious legend: St. Peter and Jesus, traveling through the region dressed as poor folk, asked the inhabitants of Barbazan for hospitality. Repulsed by the villagers, they were welcomed in a house outside the village by a couple of modest means, and punished the inhabitants for their inhospitality. St. Peter and Jesus then opened the earth, from which water gushed forth, engulfing the village and giving birth to Lake Barbazan.
Apart from this legend and the fact that its water supply system is unknown, Lac de Barbazan is a rare case of a glacial lake at this altitude (450 m).
