    Beautiful walk along the Canal du Midi with a view of the pond and the domain of Saint Gabriel, producer of wine and rice.

    The pond covers an area of 2000 ha, and is shared between the municipalities of Marseillette, Aigues-Vives, Saint-Frichoux and Puichéric. In the past, it supplied the region with fish.

    From the 12th century onwards, people began to talk about draining this stagnant body of water, a source of death and misery for Marseillette and the surrounding villages, which were becoming depopulated. In 1605, Henry IV issued a royal decree to drain the Pond.

    But it wasn't until 1804 and the purchase of the Pond by an Irishwoman, Madame de Lawless, that it was drained, thanks to a vast construction project.
