Jardins de Vailhan

Garden Vailhan, Occitanie, France

What to expect

The Jardins de Vailhan is a natural area with a lake, the Lac des Olivettes, which was created by a dam built in 1986 to regulate the floods of the Peyne river. The lake is surrounded by greenery and chaotic landscapes, and offers opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and swimming. The area is also home to a variety of flora, including holm oaks, arbutus, chestnut trees, and heather. A hiking trail, the Sentier des Olivettes, allows visitors to explore the area and enjoy stunning views of the lake. The trail is considered easy and is suitable for families. The area is also sensitive to fire risks, and visitors are advised to take precautions and respect the natural environment
