The river's character combines accessible stretches with natural beauty, enhanced by permitted night fishing and boat access, making it ideal for extended fishing trips with bivouac and camping facilities available. Anglers must obtain a Carte de Pêche through the local AAPPMA to fish this regulated section, which rewards preparation with consistent catches of bream and perch among other species.
