The La Valette reservoir covers 224 ha. Fed by the Doustre, it has a nautical base and beaches designed for the pleasure of summer visitors. The tail of the lake is enjoyed by a large number of boat fishermen. Ranked in the second category, the lake is home to a large population of predators such as zander, perch and pike, but also carp and more recently catfish.

As autumn arrives, mushroom picking attracts young and old into the undergrowth, eager to flush out ceps, chanterelles and other trumpets-of-death. The essentials: a wide and shallow wicker basket (even a cloth bag, never a plastic bag) and a knife, with a thin and sharp blade. Have a good harvest!
