Did you know : "Saligue" is a term from Bearn which designates the floodable banks of the gaves. It encompasses a marshy environment and its specific vegetation, made up of willows, poplars, oaks, etc. The saligues run alongside the Gaves de Pau and Ossau, in particular.
The water reservoir hosts a water sports base during the summer. You can rent a kayak, a rowboat, or even a bicycle. The off-season lends itself more to hiking. A towpath and a Path of the Undergrowth allow you to walk along it and walk on the shores of the lake. Several other courses are available nearby. They are accessible on foot, by bicycle or on horseback. You can even try your hand at rock climbing on the cliffs.Find it on the Guide Béarn Pyrénées's Blog...
