On social media, comments are pouring in, praising the healthy level of this artificial lake at the foot of the Pyrenees.

Camon, in addition to having a remarkable natural heritage with more than five natural areas of ecological, faunal and floral interest, is especially known for its remarkable architectural heritage. The creation of the town dates back to 923. Ramparts, church and abbey as well as houses from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance follow one another for the lucky visitors who are lucky enough to pass by.
