The Béal Neuf canal: canals and men, an iconic history

A waterside route taking you along the path followed by the Béal Neuf canal, the embodiment of men's enormous efforts to irrigate their fields! An exploration that also offers enjoyment of the surrounding landscapes and unrivalled views over the Vallouise valley and the Pelvoux. >>>> RECOMMANDATIONS Access to the canal is prohibited for herds or flocks of animals and all vehicles (motorised or otherwise). There is an alternative section following the Béal Neuf canal: "Du torrent au canal" (from the mountain stream to the canal). It starts 1 kilometre above the starting point of this last path, near a picnic table-nique. Check weather conditions before setting off.
