Lac de la Crégut

Highlight • Lake

The three large lakes, along with all the small lakes, impress with their location and the landscape that surrounds them. For a travel eagle a little paradise. Steady, but easy climbs are the price, but you like to pay.

Lieu-dit "Les Maisons

Highlight • Other

A Mecca of the Maquisard resistance, this place is well highlighted with panels explaining the history - the ruins of the headquarters of the maquisards as well as their cars destroyed by the Germans in 1944 are still visible.

Warning: the path is difficult to practice and is not very pleasant for mountain biking (in May 2021) since this sector has been partially deforested by large machines. Results: Lots of fallen trees on the path / to step over, and large ruts filled with water at this time. No problem for hiking!

Les Maisons Resistance Camp (1944)

Highlight • Historical Site

These remains are those of an important resistance camp (several thousand men).

The site is highlighted by various commemorative and explanatory plaques.

At the end of June 1944, clashes took place throughout the sector and other plaques were affixed throughout the town for those who would like to deepen their knowledge.
