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.

Langogne

Highlight • Bridge

Langogne is at the heart of many sites perfect for hiking and outdoor activities. It is a territory with a thousand facets, in the middle of Margeride, a few steps from Lake Naussac and the Haut-Allier gorges.

The town is also home to some cultural gems that are worth a visit such as the Chastanier sacred art museum, the thousand-year-old city of Langogne or the Filature des Calquières museum.

Besset Gate

Highlight • Historical Site

The Besset portal is the southern gate of the city of Pradelles, the rue Basse which descends from it joins the Entressac to reform the "Chemin de Saint-Gilles" which takes on the name of "Chemin de Régordane" a little further south.

We can clearly see the structure of the gate, with a first arch, behind which the heavy iron portcullis slid (in the slides dug into the stone), and a second arch against which the heavy wooden gate pivoting on iron hinges was closed. (part of which is still sealed in the wall) and locked by wooden bars anchored in notches cut in the stone.

Nevertheless, Jacques de Chambaud survived and still had the opportunity to distinguish himself in the service of Henri IV, before dying of congestion in 1600.
