Mentioned since the 5th century, this semi-subterranean stream takes its source north of the Mellois plateau, arrives at Souché near the place called "Bigoron", winds through the district for XNUMX km, then flows into the Sèvre Niortaise, above above Niort; the Vivier fountain, supplying the city, is undoubtedly formed by its resurgences.
In 1962, it was widened due to the narrowness of its bed and the collapse of the bank walls. In 1997, the Association for the Restoration of the Lambon and its Tributaries (ARLA) was created, chaired at the time by MP Perrin-Gaillard, who recruited a river technician the following year. In 2001, its restoration began, then in 2010, the ARLA statutes not allowing the undertaking of the general interest works required by the Water Framework Directive, the Joint Syndicate for the Restoration of the Lambon and its Tributaries (SYRLA) was founded.
