In the Parc Naturel Régional du Haut-Languedoc, 2 days of hiking around the Hérault's most little-known lake...
And to discover Avène and its thermal baths, the wide open spaces of the forests and pastures of the Monts d'Orb, and a Hérault with a "Massif Central" atmosphere: astonishing!
The Tour du Lac des Monts d'Orb is one of the components of the GR® de Pays Entre Deux Lacs Avène - Salagou: 2 lake tours over 2 or 3 days, and a Sentier des 2 lacs that can be completed in 3, 4 or 5 days. Wonderful slow-motion journeys through the nature and geology of the Hérault region, in the heart of the Terres d'Hérault Geopark.
