    Besse is fortunate to have a small lake right next to the city center. Large beach and urban campsite.

      Lake Besse is fed underground by a spring whose water comes from the St Quinis massif that surrounds the village to the north.

        With an area of 4 ha, it is 33 meters deep. Canals have also been constructed to supply it with water from the Issole.

          This lake has its legend: it was once said to be a wheat threshing floor. But on Sint-Anna, then a holiday, two miscreants came to collect their harvest. Then a mighty spring sprang up, which drowned mules and miscreants. At Sainte Anne it seems like you can still hear them spinning at the bottom of the water and cracking their whips.

          From the lake, on the south bank, we reach the maze of old streets of Besse, where it is good to walk.
