The Étang de Curécy is a beautiful pond which was once part of a series of seven ponds belonging to the Bellebranche Abbey. The monks practiced fish farming there. Today, these ponds serve as a refuge for migratory birds. A small observatory located on the shore and accessible to all allows you to appreciate the view of the water and the surrounding vegetation. The Curécy Pond is part of a larger natural area which includes the Bellebranche forest and its bocage, where rare plants and animals can be found.
