A proper swimming spot at the heart of the estate
The pool is one of La Bergerie du Mas Delon's biggest draws. It's the perfect place to unwind after a stroll by Lake Salagou, a hike, a mountain-bike ride or a day out exploring Hérault.
It's shared by guests of the estate's 11 gîtes: Papillon, Mimosa, Garrigue, Lavande, the 3 Salagou gîtes and the 4 Bergerie gîtes. It's designed as a shared space — family-friendly and calm.

Safety: a fenced pool designed with families in mind
The pool is surrounded by a wire fence with a double-action safety gate. This setup prevents the gate being opened accidentally and adds an extra layer of security around the water.
The depth increases gradually: you enter in an area 1.05 m deep, and the pool then slopes gently down to 1.85 m. This makes swimming more reassuring for families, though children remain their parents' responsibility.
Even though the pool is secure, there is no lifeguard on duty. Children must always remain under an adult's constant supervision.

After the lake, a hike or a bike ride
