• building a dyke alongside the internal roadway, 
• creating a sluice to control the flow of water into the canal and lake,
• building a new beach area and
• reinforcing the main dam.

New roadworks have been completed at the entrance/exit to the village along the Cahors road. This has helped to ease the flow of traffic and created proper car parking spaces in front of the Post Office and cemetery gates.
