Hiking
The Étang de Pirot is an artificial lake created in 1846 to supply water to the Canal de Berry, a historic waterway that linked the Loire and the Cher. The pond covers an area of 78 hectares and is surrounded by the Tronçais forest, one of the largest oak forests in Europe. You can enjoy the view of the water, trees and wildlife as you walk along the shore or explore the two arms of the lake: the Cros-Chaud and the Guèrande. The Etang de Pirot is an ideal destination for a peaceful and refreshing hike in all seasons.
