The lakes of Occitanie, located between the Pyrenees and Massif Central, consist of both natural and artificial water bodies. The natural lakes are mainly found at high altitudes in the Pyrenees, formed by glacial activity. The artificial lakes, created by dams, serve as water reservoirs and host water activities. This region features notable lakes such as Salagou with its red rocks, Lac d'Oô with its 300-meter waterfall, and Lac de Gaube facing Vignemale.
