"🇫🇷 Connaissez-vous ce lac aux eaux rouges qui abrite un village fantôme et des volcans endormis ? Bienvenue au Lac du Salagou, joyau caché de l'Hérault qui vous réserve bien des surprises, surtout à T'automne ! UN PAYSAGE MARTIEN AUX PORTES DE MONTPELLIER Imaginez un instant: des collines écarlates se reflétant dans des eaux paisibles, parsemées çà et là de roches volcaniques noires. Non, vous nêtes pas sur Mars, mais bien dans l'Hérault, à seulement une heure de Montpellier. Le Lac du Salagou, avec ses 750 hectares de superficie et ses 28 km de rivages, est un véritable tableau vivant que la nature a peint avec une palette incroyable. 🇬🇧 Do you know this lake with red waters that is home to a ghost village and dormant volcanoes? Welcome to Lac du Salagou, a hidden gem in Hérault that has many surprises in store for you, especially in the fall! A MARTIAN LANDSCAPE AT THE GATES OF MONTPELLIER Imagine for a moment: scarlet hills reflected in peaceful waters, dotted here and there with black volcanic rocks. No, you are not on Mars, but in Hérault, just an hour from Montpellier. Lac du Salagou, with its 750 hectares of surface area and 28 km of shoreline, is a true living painting that nature has painted with an incredible palette."
"A stunning artificial lake surrounded by striking red earth and rugged hills, perfect for outdoor activities like kayaking, hiking, and camping. A truly unique landscape where you imagine being in Madagascar or Australia (without the deadly animals...)."
