Also nicknamed "lost lake", this dam on the Cause is ideally located at the gates of the city of Aix-en-Provence. It is supplied with water mainly by an artificial underground pipe bringing water from the Verdon via the Canal de Provence and not by the river which is often dry. This explains why we find this turquoise color of the water.

Swimming in the Bimont lake is prohibited. It is regularly drained and many fish are thus collected.

View of the Bimont Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.
