Already present in 1524, the Fondeaux canal marked the economic life of the city of Die until the 19th century. The use of the driving force of its water continues today. It starts at its water intake dating from 1825, located on the Meyrosse and rejects itself in the Drome after having fed 8 waterfalls on a course of 3 km.
