Cirque de Moureze
Mourèze is in the Herault department of Languedoc-Roussillon, in the Massif Central 10 km west of Clermont-l'Herault.
Mourèze village is best known for the natural spectacle that stands at its feet - the Cirque de Mourèze. The Cirque has been occupied since prehistoric times, and continues to be fascinating today.
Strange standing rock formations, worn by the rain of millions of years, emerge from the undergrowth in the forms of various beasts and structures (many have been given names by the more romantically inclined).
The Parc des Courtinals has the best sweeping view of the cirque, but it is really close up that the landscape is most strange and fascinating, in the most intact 'cirque of dolomites' in Europe. Highly recommended for a visit, with scenery that is both fascinating and awe-inspiring.
The Lac de Salagou, a few kilometres north of the cirque, is a popular spot for sunbathing, swimming and various water based activities.
