A recreation area has been set up to the north of the lake and the banks can be explored on foot or by bike.

Source Wikipedia: The Church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Montgeard was built for the most part between 1522 and 15612, during the heyday of pastel culture in Lauragais. It has benefited from large donations from local families enriched by this business. In this, this "pastel church" testifies to the golden age of the "land of plenty" during the Renaissance. A funerary case intended to house the tombs of the main pastoral merchant families in the area, the church was in particular to celebrate the rise of the most powerful of them, the Durands, who at the same time became Lords of Montgeard. Following the southern Gothic style, the building surprises with the contrast between its very stripped and defensive exterior and the richness of its interior decoration, in particular sculpted. Its vault, painted in the 19th century in imitation of that of the cathedral of Sainte-Cécile d´Albi, earned it its nickname "Little Albi". The church of Montgeard and its bell tower were classified as a historic monument by decree of April 25, 1890.
