The Montagne Noire channel allows part of the water from the streams flowing naturally towards the Mediterranean side of the Canal du Midi via the Fresquel to be channeled towards the oceanic slope.

Nice path allowing you to follow the Rigole de la Montagne as well as the natural bed of the Alzeau.

Lac de la Galaube, at the southwestern end of the Haut-Languedoc PNR, is like many others in the Montagne Noire a reservoir. It was built recently (1999-2001) even if a dam had already been imagined by Pierre-Paul Riquet during the creation of the Canal du Midi. Indeed, it is located on the Rougeanne (Alzeau), whose water intake a few hundred meters downstream supplies water to the Canal du Midi.

Pleasant and very beautiful setting, be careful not to have a real sandy or grassy beach to rest on, but tree trunks do the trick!
