Réserve naturelle nationale de l'étang des Landes, National nature reserve in Lussat, France.
The Étang des Landes reserve encompasses 165 hectares of wetlands, forests, and meadows, containing the largest natural pond in the Limousin region.
The pond originated in 1684 when local authorities established a water system to support agricultural activities and fish farming in the Creuse department.
The reserve functions as an educational center where visitors learn about conservation through guided tours and programs focused on local wildlife observation.
Four bird observation points connect through a 7-kilometer walking path around the pond, with designated picnic areas for visitors throughout the reserve.
The protected area hosts 212 bird species and maintains five nationally protected plant species within its boundaries, supporting a diverse ecosystem.
