Lake Castillon

Highlight • Lake

Lake Castillon results from a water reservoir at the Cheiron hill. When the dam was installed, water engulfed the village of Castillon and the Saint-Julien bridge.

This lake with azure waters is perfect for cooling off.

Col du Défens (1,230 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

One of my favorite passes (1,230 meters) in this region that I know well. A good quality road, very little traffic, magnificent scenery and a very accessible climb on both sides.
