A literary - albeit rather bizarre in the context of the story - monument has been set by the Spanish author Miguel de CERVANTES to the windmills, with which our ancestors harnessed the energy of the wind centuries ago to move the large and heavy millstones : His tragic novel hero Don Quixote, the “knight of the sad figure”, wants to defeat them in a duel in one episode, believing that he is competing against giants with four arms.

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".
