The water from the Gardon was dammed at the dam and conveyed to the mill through this narrow channel cut into the rock.
This former canal now serves as a hiking trail, but only up to the dam. Unfortunately, the further course of the hiking trail was blocked by the property owner.

Hiking

Indeed, I confirm that you can only go as far as the waterfall. The rest of the path is closed by a gate... be careful to go there with good shoes, the stones are quite smooth along the small canal and you walk along the side of the "cliff".

Hiking

You can walk along the canal, but despite the yellow markings indicating the path, it is difficult to get there due to fallen trees, access to the path is blocked from the road.
