Tips from the Community

Water reservoir created between 2003 and 2005. The lake is perfect for bird watching. From the dike, splendid view of the Pyrenees in the background. An 11 km trail (marked in yellow) allows you to go around it.

Between Tarbes and Pau, you can admire this lake and the Pyrenees in the background! It is possible to go completely around the lake but you will need a mountain bike or gravel.
