Magnificent terrain, it's fun on gravel, and surely even more so on a mountain bike! Plus the scenery is too beautiful!!

This superb route is extremely exotic. It crosses the Salagou Valley and takes you straight to the characteristic ochre trails around Lake Salagou.

Red terracotta earth, viewpoint on the lake, it's an outing to do because the setting and the driving are incredible!

Along the DFCI, the view of the lake is breathtaking. The route was tiring because that day there was a fairly strong wind, and we often had it in our faces. Some unpaved paths are quite difficult for beginners, so be careful. But otherwise a superb walk, for the Moureze cirque we returned the next day. It is possible to do the short 3km route by combining it with the bike if you are in good physical condition.

This tour is only for experienced mountain bikers. Not suitable for "normal" cyclists in our opinion We had to push our bikes uphill and downhill on the sections directly by the lake because the paths were too rocky. Despite everything, it was a great highlight

The curious story of this village: in the wake of the water crisis in 1959, it was decided to dam the Salagou to create a reservoir. The water height should be increased in two stages. Celles is located exactly at the height of both barrages. The village therefore had to be abandoned and the residents (80 people lived there in 1950) had to be relocated. However, the valley was only flooded up to the first water level, which is why Celles was spared. Since then, an initiative has been underway to resurrect the village. A mairie exists again between the ruins and old walls. Exact details of the moving story are posted there.
