LAC DE SAINT-FERREOL

A technical jewel in the heart of the Montagne Noire, Saint-Ferréol lake awaits you for swimming or family fun.

The Saint-Ferréol lake nestles in a valley on the course of the Laudot river. The site is surrounded by the first tree-covered peaks of the Montagne Noire, with their shades of green. Built in 1667, Riquet's water reservoir was planted with ornamental trees in the 18th century.

The first plantings stabilised the structure of the reservoir. A pine forest was planted all around the lake. Even the air smells good here, thanks to the pine trees that line the beaches. You're warmly invited to take advantage of this green canopy to relax, picnic or even snorkel!

A seventeenth-century dyke, as well as a magnificent English-style park, a spray and waterfalls built in the nineteenth century, enhance the site. Gentlemen used to invite ladies to come here for a gallant stroll in the shade of the trees.

Today, it's a great place to spend some quality time with the family, with supervised swimming in summer, a leisure centre and restaurants offering great views over the lake. Escape guaranteed!

Supervised swimming in summer from 12pm to 6pm.
