Dams and weirs were built within the 16th century along the Lot river. This was done for the wheels of the many mills and to make the Lot navigable, as upto the 20th century barges transported goods up and down the Lot. These barges were towed (mostly by oxes or horses) and near the village Bouziers the towpath was cut out of the cliff. Today this is a picturesque path used by walkers and bikers.
