Tips
The Bimont dam, also called the Bimont dam or the Rigaud dam, is an arch dam commissioned in 1952 in the town of Saint-Marc-Jaumegarde, in the Sainte-Victoire mountain, near Aix-en-Provence. It is fed mainly by water from the west branch of the Canal de Provence, which is brought in via an underground gallery and drains off on the right bank just before the dam.It is accompanied by a counter dam located at its foot on the left bank, which collects the spilled water to supply the Marseille-North branch of the Provence Canal.
