Vivier Gallo-Romain

This Gallo-Roman reservoir at Pointe de la Calle, to the south of Port Ferréol, is a listed Historical Monument. It occupies a natural bay of 20 metres in length and varying in width between 5 and 12 metres. It runs along a north-south line between the shore and five rocks.

It was arranged to provide the different temperatures required by living fish in different seasons and at different times of day. It was used to trap and retain spawning fish (15th March/15th June).
