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.

Lake Salagou

Highlight • Lake

An essential place in Hérault for outdoor sports (mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, paddle, fishing, etc.).
Be careful in the middle of summer, prefer sporting activities early in the morning to avoid the high heat. Little shade all around the lake.
