There is no doubt that you are in Haute-Loire in Saint-Haon. In fact, we find the specialties of this department there: the cultivation of green lentils from Puy, the making of lace and cheeses. The town church, in Romanesque style, catches the eye with its comb bell tower which has four arcades. You will also find a bar and small shops.

Is it because you change department and enter a new world that this town took this strange name? Is it because there were once mines here which offered new perspectives to the inhabitants? The best is to ask the inhabitants of the village directly, if you come across them.

From the first glimpses of this lake at its western end to riding high above on a gravel track, this huge body of water is an imposing sight, sitting at 945 metres high (3,100 ft). Riding its full 10-kilometre (6.2 mi) length t's hugely tempting to head in for a dip to cool off in the summer months at one of its beaches near the small town of Naussac, before heading into Langogne.
