Worth a visit

(S/E) I had the opportunity to create this short itinerary for a project. The place is quiet and pleasant, with lots of activities and beautiful scenery. If you would like to find out more about this lake and its tiny inhabitants (birds and fish), visit my website, which I created as part of a student project: Lac de Lamartine in Roques-sur-Garonne: Nature Reserve, Activities & Visits
(4) Bird sanctuary : please note that it is only accessible with a guide.
Between (4) and (5), there is a bridge where fishermen of all ages can enjoy themselves.
