The lake is located at an altitude of 790 m, in the Lacaune mountains in the Occitanie region. It is fed by the Vèbre river, which is a tributary of the Agout, as well as its right bank tributaries, including the Viau, and the streams of Rieufrech, Ramières and Pradas. Different villages border the lake: Rieumontagné, Villelongue, Naujac and Peyroux.

This tiny village is located on the Santiago trail. Besides the peaceful setting, you might encounter a few pilgrims.

Ideally located one kilometer from Lake Laouzas, this small village offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. You will find on site, in an old farm, the museum of peasant life.

Located at an altitude of 800 meters in the heart of the Lacaune mountains, this pretty little lake is in the center of a wooded environment. For hiking enthusiasts, a 21-kilometer trail goes all the way around it in a Canadian atmosphere.
