Descrizione

The Raho lakes are located in Villeneuve-de-la-Raho and were created in the 1970s to constitute a water reserve for agricultural irrigation, fire protection and the supply of drinking water to the Roussillon plain. Because of the multiple outdoor activities and and the many people who visit the lake during holidays and summer the big lake is not very interesting for birders in summer. But the small ecological reservoir to the south-west of the main lake is interesting all year round. Because of the ecological management this reservoir of 14 hectares has a remarkable biodiversity. Fishing and tourist activities are prohibited in this ecological reservoir and many birds can be seen.

Français: Les lacs de la Raho sont situés sur les communes de Villeneuve-de-la-Raho, Bages, Montescot et Pollestres. Créés dans les années 1970 pour constituer une réserve d’eau pour l’irrigation agricole, la défense contre l’incendie et, à terme, l’alimentation en eau potable de la plaine du Roussillon, les lacs offrent, aux portes de Perpignan, 50 ha d’espaces verts et 230 ha de plans d’eau avec des points de vue paysagers remarquables. Les multiples activités de plein air que le site propose font de ce dernier l’un des lieux les plus visités du département. Quant à la gestion écologique qui y est menée, elle a permis à une biodiversité remarquable de s’installer sur ce site et de s’y maintenir, grâce à la réserve écologique.
