Lakes
Lakes in Provence, from reflective mirror surfaces in the mountains to water-sport expanses.
Allos Lake
A beautiful mountain lake 12 km northeast of Allos village, access by a 30-minute hike from the parking area.
Carcès Lake
Lac de Carcès is about 3 km long, twisting along between the forested hills that once lined the small-river valleys that were dammed in 1936. Good fishing, but no boating, water sports or swimming.
