What to do and see in Midi-Pyrénées, Occitanie: The Best Bodies of Water

March 17, 2022 Alice Mieles

Stretching from the wooded Dordogne to the towering peaks of the Pyrenees, this vast region is a popular winter sports destination, but one without the hordes that besiege the Alps. Spring's melted snows lure kayakers and rafting enthusiasts. In summer, amateur and advanced hikers take to the hills.

Garonne

Reviewed By 18philippeb - Toulouse, France

The Garonne river in Toulouse offers nice walks along the banks with amazing views on brick-made historical buildings both at night and during daytime. It’s also an opportunity to learn a lot about the history of the city that was organized around the river.

Lac de Genos-Loudenvielle

lovely place to come for a stroll, stunning views and really peaceful. We were there on a hot Saturday and it was still calm and quiet. The walk around the lake is pretty and flat perfect for a slow saunter

Lac D'oo

Reviewed By wynbunbury - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

I walked 2 times up to Lac D'oo. It is more difficult than one is led to believe. Took me at least 1 hour and 30 mins each way (with stops for photos) and I would advise you to wear proper walking boots. I am a fairly experienced walker, so this is definitely NOT a tourist's stroll. Was relatively quiet in December and January. Like most of the French Pyreness virtually nothing open for refreshments. Take sandwiches and a flask and enjoy them overlooking the Lake. It's possible to continue walking to a refuge higher up and on to the G10 path. This requires more equipment . We were glad of our spikes to put on over our boots when we walked up as the ground was partially frozen in January. Later buy some fabulous Lac D'Oo trout in the Luchon produce market on Saturdays.
