Long before the water invaded the valley, in the 1960s when the dam was commissioned, extraordinary animals trod the ground in the region. Footprints of dinosaurs but also of mammals have been discovered in the vicinity of the lake. Some traces date back 400 million years. The place of paleontological site and the Lodève museum allow visitors to observe them.
