    Tips

    Also nicknamed "lost lake", this dam on the Cause is ideally located at the gates of the city of Aix-en-Provence. It is supplied with water mainly by an artificial underground pipe bringing water from the Verdon via the Canal de Provence and not by the river which is often dry. This explains why we find this turquoise color of the water.

    Swimming in the Bimont lake is prohibited. It is regularly drained and many fish are thus collected.

      When planning, please remember that the Barrage Bimont dam will only be open on public holidays and weekends for an expected two years from September 2017 due to construction work. The lake has currently been drained (November 2017) and this should not change during the construction work.

      There are a lot of parking spaces (which are still not enough on weekends) and a drinking fountain on the way to the wall
