The stream of the same name flows into this pretty little body of water. A very pleasant path runs along part of it while the Étruyère campsite is located on the banks opposite.

This bridge crosses the stream of the Mother which encircles the city. It offers a beautiful view of the well-preserved fortifications of Vouvant. Looking north, you can see the Mélusine tower. It is in fact the keep, the only part of the old castle that still remains.
