All about

    The carpet of Lake Souveyrols

    The site is also known for being one of the few places in France where you can find the Siberian ligularia, a peat bog plant that is extremely rare in France, a relic of the Ice Age and absolutely protected (flowering in August). There are currently several hundred such plants around the lake, which is quite remarkable!

    GOOD TO KNOW!

    These plants form a seemingly normal, but in reality unstable soil, and if you get too close, you could sink into very cold water, which could be fatal. We therefore formally advise you not to approach the shores of Lac de Souveyrols!

    What about

    swimming

    in Lac de Souveyrols

    Swimming is prohibited in Lac de Souveyrols.

    You risk sinking into the lake’s peat bogs.

    What’s more, to protect certain species found in and around the lake, it’s best to stay away.

    The only Aubrac lake open to bathers is Lac du Moulinet.
