Around Brenne (Vienne, Indre, Indre-et-Loire)

Located mainly in the Indre department, Brenne is one of the largest and most remarkable wetland complexes in France, proudly nicknamed the "Land of a Thousand Ponds." Designated a Regional Natural Park, it features a flat and intimate landscape where over 3,000 ponds—shaped by human activity for fish farming—alternate with heathlands and forests. This aquatic mosaic is an exceptional biological sanctuary. Brenne is renowned worldwide for its ornithological significance, serving as a vital stopover for thousands of migratory birds. Its iconic wildlife includes the European pond turtle (the small turtle), and it hosts an incredible diversity of dragonflies and amphibians. The region thus offers a unique atmosphere of tranquility, making it an ideal place for observing and preserving biodiversity.
