The Rigole of the Montagne Noire

Highlight • River

The Montagne Noire channel allows part of the water from the streams flowing naturally towards the Mediterranean side of the Canal du Midi via the Fresquel to be channeled towards the oceanic slope. It starts from the Alzeau intake to the Vauban vault, a tunnel pierced so that the channel can join the Laudot and thus the Saint-Ferréol basin then the Plaine channel.

Lac des Cammazes

Highlight • Lake

Superb lake which can be explored on foot or by bike (hybrid bike, mountain bike, gravel). Also the start of many hiking and biking tours. Possibility to park before the dam.

Vauban Vault

Highlight • Bridge

At the inauguration of the Canal du Midi (then called the Royal Canal of Languedoc), the channel of the Montagne Noire flowed into the Sor to be captured again by the channel of the plain at Pont-Crouzet. However, in order to improve water management and in particular the supply of the Saint-Ferréol reservoir, Vauban launched in 1686 a program of digging a tunnel at the level of the Cammazes so that the channel could join the Laudot and thus the Saint-Ferréol basin.
