The English Tower is the only remaining remnant of a castle belonging to the Barony of Randon and built under the patronage of Philippe de Randon. The story goes that he discovered his castle completely destroyed upon returning from a crusade. Following this, he decided to rebuild a new one, overlooking the entire region, so as not to be taken by surprise again.

Very nice walk, the first part is a little difficult to access the lake because of the big difference in altitude. But the tour of the lake is very pleasant, and accessible with children (10 years old)

An extremely pleasant walk with beautiful panoramas, to do on foot or by bike, a successful experience despite a headwind on the eastern side of the lake which cools the air, I highly recommend it.

The Charpal lake discovery trail offers numerous perspectives on the body of water. This one is particularly beautiful! A path allows you to approach the water.

A dam on the Colagne river created this Charpal lake. It supplies the town of Mende with drinking water. The Charpal site was originally chosen in 1925 to create an underwater munitions depot. This strange project never took place, because the lake was not deep enough and did not allow the immersion of the powder.
