It is a natural site classified by the ministerial decree of June 13, 1968. This first classification only concerns the water part. Due to the strong urban pressure to which they are subjected, and in order to preserve their natural character, the banks of the pond are classified by a decree of the Council of State of June 23, 1980.
The western part of the pond is classified as a special protection zone in February 1988 with the Huchet current and is integrated into the Natura 2000 network.

Footbridge over the Palue

The small, winding river is characterized by its shallow depth, making it an ideal and safe excursion destination for families. With a Class 1 current, the water is often so shallow that you can stand in the riverbed in places. Along the banks, a protected, almost tropical fauna and flora stretches out, reminiscent of mangrove landscapes and providing a habitat for numerous animals.
Due to its calm nature, the La Palue is a very popular area for canoe and kayak tours. Local providers, such as the Canoe-Kayak Club of Castets, offer guided tours and boat rentals to explore the pristine nature. The picturesque route leads downstream directly to the mouth of the Lake of Léon.
