Located near an old mill (the mill of Ladoux, formerly fountain the Soft one, in occitan Dotz ), and visible of the road, hardly hidden by a low wall, this broad basin (measuring 172 meters of circumference and 100 meters of depth) with bluish or green clear water following the moment attracts the many curious one in particular for the power about its water fall but also for the mystery which it contains and which one tries to see with the naked eye, namely the entry of the underground siphon.

Classified a long time like the largest siphon of the world, this one attracts many sportsmen specialized in diving (apart from the firemen who come to make their drive of diving there).

Without any air pocket, this one extends on 4 kilometers and was explored during some time by Switzerland Olivier Isler.

Thereafter, this curiosity of nature was the subject of a television program, since Nicolas Hulot through his emission natural Ushuaia, was let try by a small visit which it had to shorten following the intoxication depths.
