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!

In the land of the potters, there is first and foremost the clay that serves as the raw material for the craftsmen, then the water that gushes out of the clay-silica or clay-limestone soils, depending on the geology of the subsoil in this area. But there's also the beauty of nature, with its landscapes, paths framed and even marked by these hedges and their sometimes mysterious, sometimes mischievous tadpoles. They are the source of some of the legends that live in the area.
