Attracting sailors and windsurfers, Lac Salagou also offers many mountain bike tracks, walks and of course the lake is the perfect place for a cooling swim.
The village of Celles was evacuated when the lake was filled, but then the plans were changed, and the village was not flooded. Still empty, it makes a nice base from which to explore the lake. Even in the busier summer months you can find a quiet cove for sunbathing and swimming. There are a couple of eateries on the lake, or why not pack a picnic?
