Montagnon Lake

Welcome to France’s most romantic lake. Montagnon Lake, or Lac du Montagnon in French, is nestled between the ridges of Mardas, Montagnon and l'Escala in the heart of the Pyrenees. With an area of over 206,000 hectares, the Pyrenees National Park has plenty of picturesque hiking trails that make it possible to explore the area's forests, meadows and mountains, but Montagnon Lake wins the prize for the region's most romantic natural landmark. Apart from its serene and isolated location, the lake is famed for its unique shape – an almost perfectly formed heart.
