    Hiking

    This impressive structure creates the Avène water reservoir. It is mainly used to irrigate the surrounding plains and to supply part of the Aude and Hérault with water. The construction, 87 meters high, dates from the early 60s. Look at both sides of the dam, the difference in level is quite staggering.
