The Red Lands of Salagou

Highlight • Natural

This beautiful gravel path winds through the red earth of Lac du Salagou.

It is the iron oxide present in the rock that gives clay and sandstone this particular red color.

Lake Salagou

Highlight • Lake

Located in the heart of Hérault, Lake Salagou transports you to Mars. The ocher color of these lands is unlike any other. The contrast of the water and the landscapes is sublime. It is the largest lake in the department.
