Interesting facts about this location

Lac de Montbel

The Lac de Montbel is a reservoir 5 minutes from Chalabre, which is a popular location for watersports and swimming. It is located at Sainte-Colombe-sur-l'Hers on the border between the Ariège and Aude départements of southwestern France. The flooded hillsides are still evident when the water level drops, revealing tree stumps and the thick sticky clay so typical of the Ariège. On quiet hot summer days the water takes on a beautiful turquoise colour which is very photogenic.
