Created in 1992, Lake Escourou took a year to fill. It is dammed on the Escourou, a tributary of the Dropt. Nearly 30 years later and the artificial lake is a Natura 2000 classified site. Hosting fishing and windsurfing competitions, it also serves as a training area for the region's firefighting planes, Canadair. Swimming is prohibited there, which has allowed the fauna and flora to establish themselves. Please note: the part of the road on the left bank along the lake is strictly prohibited. If you stay on the asphalt road, you will return to the lake via "La Robinette".
