Neouvielle

Neouvielle National Nature Reserve

Néouvielle - Barrage et lac de Cap de Long

How many are there? Several dozen? A hundred? No one has ever been able to count the lakes in this nature reserve. They are scattered throughout the landscape and form a string of pretty blue mirrors that sparkle in the midst of the mountain pines, meadows and rhododendrons. It is an enchanting landscape with its mix of a wide range of green and turquoise-blue shades. But in Néouvielle, the animals also guarantee a show. The most unobtrusive lives in the streams. It is called the Pyrenean brook salamander. This strange animal is a sort of large newt and boasts of being a contemporary of the dinosaurs. More common creatures such as solitary foxes, Pyrenaean chamois, marmots, griffon vultures and bearded vultures, common frogs, and common midwife toads inhabit this land of wonders.
