Hiking
Created in 1992, the Escourou lake took a year to fill up. It is dammed on the Escourou, a tributary of the Dropt. Almost 30 years later and the artificial lake is a Natura 2000 listed site. Hosting fishing and windsurfing competitions, it also serves as a training area for the region's firefighting planes, the Canadair. Swimming is prohibited there, which has allowed the fauna and flora to establish themselves.

Hiking
The part of the route on the left bank along the lake is strictly forbidden! Seemed risky too. If you stay on the asphalt road via "la Robinette" you will come back to the lake.
