Étang de Guzet by the Ars waterfall

We encourage you to adopt responsible behavior in this fragile and shared environment.
- Stay on trails and take your trash with you.
- Observe the flora without picking it.
- Stay discreet for the wild animals.
- In grazing areas, remember to close fences and gates. Do not approach or feed the animals. If a Patou (livestock guardian dog) approaches you, slowly and calmly move away. No big gestures or shouting, even if it barks, as it would consider you a threat. If it follows you, ignore it.
- Swimming in lakes is discouraged. Sunscreen (even organic!) and other cosmetics pollute this fragile environment.
- Camping is allowed only between 7 p.m. and 9 a.m., and more than one hour's walk from a parking lot.
- During drought periods, any fire is forbidden. In other cases, fires are allowed only more than 200m from a forest. Prefer stoves to natural fireplaces.
- In case of encounter, very unlikely, with a bear (which tries at all costs to avoid us): calmly make your presence known, slowly move away, and do not run.
