The Lac du Salagou, known for its rare natural features, is an artificial lake that was created in the 1960s. When visiting the lake, it is also worth stopping by the abandoned hamlet of Celles. This deserted little village, located on the north bank of the Lac du Salagou, was evacuated before building the dam for the lake. Miraculously, the rising water stopped right in front of the houses. To this day, this unusually beautiful and quiet village is still desolate, although life is slowly coming back.
