Étang de Curécy

Highlight • Lake

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.

Bellebranche State Forest

Highlight • Forest

The Bellebranche National Forest is a remnant of a larger forest which was cleared for the needs of the Navy. It extends over 140 hectares and is surrounded by a beautiful bocage. It also borders the Curécy pond, where you can observe migratory birds from a small observatory. The forest has an educational trail that explains its history and biodiversity. You can access the forest from the villages of Bouère or Saint-Brice, where you can also visit the remains of an old Cistercian abbey. The Bellebranche National Forest is a privileged place to enjoy nature and discover the local heritage.
