The Pont du Diable located close to the pottery-making village of Saint Jean de Fos is popular among locals and tourists. It is an almost 20 metre high bridge that dates from the first half of the 11th century. It spans the Hérault river and attracts daredevils who choose to risk injury by jumping. While illegal, many thrill seekers still take the chance and jump. Meanwhile, swimmers, cliff jumpers and canoe and stand up paddle boarders enjoy the currents, rock formations and scenery all around.
The Lac du Salagou is located roughly 30 km from Roujan. It is a reservoir of the Salagou dam and is characterized by its rich red clay earth and hill formations. The site of previous volcanic activity, it is a mecca for watersports and hiking. In addition, the Canadair water planes for the regional fire department use this lake to fill their tanks for fighting local fires. Quite a spectacular sight to see!
