A gaudre, Provençal term that originally means "small brook", today means a river often dry in summer and low flow the rest of the year. While gaudres are natural formations, the gaudre of the Mas Neuf bed was, meanwhile, channeled by the man and connected to the canal of Baux-de-Provence. As a result, it has lost the specificity of a temporary stream and can provide for crops all year round.
