Lac de Vailhan

Highlight • Lake

Superb place with a splendid landscape. The road is not in very good condition but is however not dangerous. And it's worth taking it.

Cycling around Lac du Salagou offers a breathtaking mix of beautiful scenery and vibrant colours, especially with the contrast between the reds of the earth and the deep blues of the water. The lake, created by a dam in the 1960s, lies in a picturesque valley surrounded by rolling hills and rocky outcrops, making it an ideal place for road cyclists to explore.

Abandoned Village of Celles

Highlight • Settlement

Abandoned village with the filling of the dam at the origin of Lake Salagou. But in the end, the level of the lake stopped at the banks of Celles and the village was literally saved from the waters. It is now the subject of a rehabilitation project.
