Pont Souvignet Dam

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

Small track along the reservoir then the watercourse.
Despite logging, the surface is still easily passable in Gravel.
This section in the undergrowth along the water is bucolic

Pas-du-Riot Dam

Highlight • Other

Built in 5 years between 1873 and 1878, this dam was built to increase the water supply to the Gouffre d'Enfer dam. Built 3 years earlier it had become insufficient. A magnificent work to admire during your race.
