The Lac de L'Escourou is very close to us - less than a five minute drive away. There is a footpath/ cycle path around the lake (about 9k) and some nice picnic spots. The upper part of the lake (2k circuit) is a nature reserve with hides for bird watching and information boards on the flora and fauna (some interactive ones for children).
