Created in 1992, Lake Escourou took a year to fill. It is dammed on the Escourou, a tributary of the Dropt. Nearly 30 years later and the artificial lake is a Natura 2000 classified site. Hosting fishing and windsurfing competitions, it also serves as a training area for the region's firefighting planes, Canadair.
