Les 7 lacs
Les 7 lacs is a nature reserve near Beaumont-de-Pertuis that features seven interconnected water bodies. The site is surrounded by reed beds and natural vegetation that creates a series of distinct aquatic and wetland habitats.
The lakes formed through natural geological processes in the Provence region and were later designated as a protected nature reserve. The designation has helped preserve the local ecosystems and their wildlife populations over time.
Access to the site is on foot via marked paths that circle the lakes. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and expect muddy conditions, especially after rainfall or during wetter seasons.
The lakes serve as a crucial stopover for migratory bird species traveling through the region. Birdwatchers can spot dozens of different species during migration seasons as they rest and feed here.
