The Frouasse pond is a small lake surrounded by century-old trees and a rich fauna. You can admire the view of the water and the reflections of the sky, as well as the singing of birds and frogs. The lake is also a historic site, as it was one of many ponds created by the Templars in the Middle Ages.

Hiking

As idyllic as the 'Etang de Frouasse' appears to the viewer today, the body of water is by no means of natural origin. Its construction was driven by economic interests at the time, as the builders (according to 'Paul_C''s contribution, the Knights Templar, whose exact name was "Poor Knights of Christ and of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem") could use such a pond either for fish farming or to power mills.
