Best Attractions in the Languedoc  Although the Languedoc-Roussillon region is best known for its splendid Mediterranean coastline, travel a little inland and you will find a totally different character with plenty to add a bit of variety to the ubiquitous bucket and spade holiday.  Not only will you find beautiful scenery such as the rolling Corbiere hills, the Parc National de Haut Languedoc, or the Pyrénéean mountains, but there is also incredible history to be found with the medieval fortress town of Carcassonne and the dramatically situated Cathar castles.

Lac de St Ferreol

Location: Just outside Revel, 20km north of Castelnaudry, on the D629.
General Info: The Lac de St-Ferréol has facilites including restaurants.

Description: This artificial reservoir with a 780 metre long dam supplies water to the Canal du Midi via a 20km waterway. There is some delightful walking in the woods around the lake.
Our recommendations: For a bit more seclusion you could make a detour to the Lac de Lampy which is higher up in the mountains.  The Lac de Lampy is a perfect starting point for walking in the Black Mountains.
For the children:  They will love swimming or sailing in the lake, or hiring one of the pedaloes.

If you fancy staying on the spot there is a hotel right in front of the lake as well as a few local campsites.
