라 투르 쉬르 오브‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 호수

프랑스에서 가장 아름다운 호수 중 하나입니다. 분명히!!

멋진 지형, 그래블 바이크로 타기 재미있고, 산악자전거로는 훨씬 더 재미있을 것 같아요! 게다가 풍경도 너무 아름다워요!!

This tiny and peaceful village, with a worldwide reputation for the benefits of its water, is a perfect location for hikers and gravel enthusiasts. You have many options of loops from there. Enjoy!

The bucolic charm of the places and the banks of the Orb is striking. The economy of Avène has always been based on significant mining activity that began under Roman rule and continued until 1954, when the Rabasse mines closed. Created in 1962 for hydroelectric production and regulation of the Orb, the Lac des Monts d'Orb (or Lac d'Avène) is 6 kilometres long and covers an area of 190 hectares. An old 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. Today, it is above all nature that provides Avène with one of its benefits: water from the depths of the Languedoc earth. This water that has been shaping a destiny for two and a half centuries, a vocation inspired by Thermalism. It is impossible not to go to the Thermal Baths, a stone's throw south of the village (the markings of the Sentier des 2 Lacs allow you to reach the site on foot, and the connection is pretty!). The Thermal Baths site is peaceful, relaxing... like the range of well-being and beauty products from the Avène brand. Beyond the thermal area, there is a magnificent hotel and an excellent restaurant! The establishment is committed to a truly eco-responsible approach: use of local products, innovative and energy-efficient architectural and technical choices...

Cycling around Lac du Salagou offers a breathtaking mix of beautiful scenery and vibrant colours, especially with the contrast between the reds of the earth and the deep blues of the water. The lake, created by a dam in the 1960s, lies in a picturesque valley surrounded by rolling hills and rocky outcrops, making it an ideal place for road cyclists to explore.

Along the DFCI, the view of the lake is breathtaking. The route was tiring because that day there was a fairly strong wind, and we often had it in our faces. Some unpaved paths are quite difficult for beginners, so be careful. But otherwise a superb walk, for the Moureze cirque we returned the next day. It is possible to do the short 3km route by combining it with the bike if you are in good physical condition.

This tour is only for experienced mountain bikers. Not suitable for "normal" cyclists in our opinion We had to push our bikes uphill and downhill on the sections directly by the lake because the paths were too rocky. Despite everything, it was a great highlight

Its creams and treatments with such recognizable packaging are a must in French pharmacies and for some of us, have the scent of vacation. If its thermal cures are world famous, the city itself is much less so. Made up of no less than 14 hamlets or farms, it has only 400 permanent residents. Enjoying a dual Mediterranean and oceanic climate, it is located in the exceptional Natural Regional Park of Haut-Languedoc, and more precisely in the landscape unit of the small causses of the upper Orb valley and Lake Avène . The Monts d'Orb occupy a significant space and offer preserved nature where the forest, by turns mountainous and Mediterranean, stands out. This landscape unit is also characterized by a mid-mountain type landscape, which presents a strong contrast with the atmosphere of the Hérault coastline. Clearly, this department is full of wonderful surprises! This unique location makes Avène the ideal starting point for numerous hikes, both on foot and by bike. Don’t hesitate to go boating or paddleboarding on the artificial lake of Avène, if the water level allows it.
