A short walk to explore the spillways of Lac du Bourdon, behind the dam commissioned in 1905. There are two spillways: the Rigole du Bourdon for the cold water at the bottom of the lake, and the Ruisseau du Bourdon for the surface water. The latter is laid out in “terraces”, creating waterfalls when the water is released. You’ll be lucky enough to see them if you visit at the right time. Otherwise, it’s still a very pretty spot! Read the safety information in the Practical Information section.
