The Mas Chaban lake is a water retention which is mainly used for agriculture. It is also home to a rich fauna that you can observe from the banks of the body of water. It is formed by the flow of the Molde which flows a little further into the Charente. With Lake Lavaud, it forms the lakes of Haute-Charente.
