The small lake is the namesake of the adjacent town and recreational area of the locals. On the north and west banks are some brick fireplaces - but unfortunately many of them are broken and of the many picnics here was unfortunately left a lot of trash, which bothers the otherwise very nice impression at this place again and again.

La Mare à Poule d'Eau is a small, calm oasis located in the center of the Salazie cirque. It is set in a remarkable green setting. The surface of the body of water is largely covered with chouchou and casuarina trees. It is possible to fish there and go around it entirely.
