Thèmes

• Sustainable tourism

  The commune of Briffons owns the Willy Mabrut pond. The pond is dammed on the river Clidane and has a diversion. In the downstream part of the diversion, a 3.60 m high rock fall prevented ecological continuity, i.e. the free movement of fish. This obligation to make the body of water fishable is linked to the classification of the river Clidane as list 2 under article L214-17 of the Environment Code.
  The municipality therefore carried out the work to restore ecological continuity, which consisted of dividing the 3.60 m high waterfall into 20 falls of 20 cm each, using prefabricated concrete partitions.

• Host portrait

  The commune of Briffons benefits from the free services of a sworn fishing warden who ensures that fishing goes smoothly. He manages the stocking of fish, checks fishing permits and ensures that the rules are respected. He also organises an occasional fishing competition in May or June.
