Tips from the Community
This spot is unique because it combines several types of environments, the edge of the Arc along a very bucolic path, a touch of urban planning, the crossing of the red earth, the magnificent climb to the dam in a very Provençal environment, the ridge after the dam and the descent into the woods until you reach the town and its cycle paths...

The Bimont dam, also called the Bimont dam or the Rigaud dam, is an arch dam commissioned in 1952 in the town of Saint-Marc-Jaumegarde, in the Sainte-Victoire mountain, near Aix-en-Provence. It is fed mainly by water from the west branch of the Canal de Provence, which is brought in via an underground gallery and drains off on the right bank just before the dam. It is accompanied by a counter dam located at its foot on the left bank, which collects the spilled water to supply the Marseille-North branch of the Provence Canal.

In this street of the Montée de la Gaye in the center of the village is the Auberge l'Ormeau. Maybe this is the perfect place to have a meal? Or would you rather go to Place du 8 mai 1945 for a coffee on the terrace? Whatever your choice, you will appreciate the tranquility of the place.
