The canal between Les Orres and Baratier

This canal was once used to irrigate farmland. It starts 8 kilometres upstream of the mountain stream L'Eyssalette, close to the resort of Orres. This canal has been out of use for approximately 30 years. But it is interesting to note that it used to be maintained manually by the local people of Les Orres, Saint-Sauveur and Baratier. This work was carried out in collective maintenance operations.
