In 1874 the Municipality of Grasse became the owner of Source Foulon. Plans were approved in 1878 and the canal was inaugurated on July 21, 1889. It includes numerous structures above the cavity and 22 tunnels with a total length of 2600 m.

Since the 22 tunnels are often long, narrow, and dark, claustrophobics will refrain.

Throughout the route you can contemplate the wild nature, admire the steep limestone cliffs and the Courmes waterfall.
