Etang de Gôle Sensitive Natural Area

From the 7-hectare lake created in the 18th century to the dense canopy of the Tire-Gerbes forest, passing by the banks of the ruisseau de l'enfer, or Hell's stream, you can discover protected species such as the European Pond Turtle or the Southern damselfly.
Distance: 3.3km

In the past, women came to rinse their clothes in the adobe washhouse, hemp was laid out to dry before the stalks were removed, people fished and hunted...
Nowadays, Montcarradiaud schoolchildren come here for natural science lessons, villagers fish or take a walk.

This pond is protected: with the renovation and maintenance of the dyke.

Heritage species are surveyed: European pond turtle, Great crested grebe, Agile frog, Dragonflies...
