アベンヌ川の貯水池での周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Consider booking a table at L'Avenette Gourmande restaurant, located in the small village of Avène. Enjoy a terrace overlooking the river, surrounded by nature. An exceptional setting and highly recommended traditional cuisine. I highly recommend it.

In Ceilhes, you have to take the time to stroll through the medieval streets of the village and soak up the calm of the place. After enjoying the banks of the Bouloc lake and the pleasures of the beach in the summer, an alternation of paths and tracks in the cool atmosphere of a forest slope facing north allows you to reach the heights of the eastern shore of the Monts d'Orb lake. From Mont Redon, you can see far, in all directions.

Created in 1962 for hydroelectric production and regulation of the Orb river, the Lac des Monts d’Orb is 6 kilometres long and covers an area of 190 hectares. A former lead and silver mine is now submerged under the lake: the mines and their exploitation were a source of wealth for the Orb valley, from Antiquity until the 1950s. The lake is not intended for swimming, but you can have lovely accompanied outings on a stand-up paddle or kayak, and go fishing.

Very beautiful lake, in which you can swim

The Lac d'Avène reservoir is located at an altitude of 430 m and its surface area is 1.9 km².

Very beautiful point of view to admire the village of Avène in its natural setting.

This point of view offers a superb perspective on the Avène reservoir. It allows you to realize the magnitude of this serpent of turquoise water which weaves its way between the Orb mountains over six kilometres.

Ceilhes-et-Rocozels is a great stopover with its lake, its restaurants and its many accommodation options, which range from camping to hotels and gîtes.
