If you're a fan of spooky French series The Returned, we've got some exciting news for you - the Lake Pub is real.
The drinking establishment - and its curiously Anglicised name - became a bit of a mini-obsession for UK viewers when Channel 4 screened the first series of The Returned in 2013.
Both the pub and the diner that feature on the show are real locations, near Annecy in south-eastern France where the series films.
"They are real places - we didn't invent them," The Returned creator Fabrice Gobert told press including Digital Spy.
"In the script, the pub had a French name, but we found that place and it was wonderful and called 'The Lake Pub' - and we thought, 'It's a little bit Twin Peaks but...'"
So there you have it. Next time you're affecting a terrible French accent to mimic one of the cast of The Returned, you'll have the full story.
