Tips

Hiking

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.
