These two lovely ponds were built by humans in 1234. They were attached to the old abbey of Saint-Sulpice, the ruins of which can be found a little further north. They offer a pleasant setting for riding in peace and quiet.

This spot didn't impress me: "blue lake" is an exaggeration, it's a very small reservoir... lots of people on the banks too.

Blue Lake, as you can imagine, owes its name to the bright shades of blue that its water takes on. The bridge that spans the lake makes it look bigger than it is, but it is actually the dam that creates the lake on the Gardon River.

Not far from the Base de Loisirs de la Vallee Bleue there is an old house with these painted windows. Looks really good.
