Landes pond, Natural reserve in Lussat, France
The Étang des Landes extends over 165 hectares and includes a 102-hectare water body surrounded by meadows, deciduous forests, and inland marshes.
Created in 1684 under the Occitan name L'estanh de las Landas, this natural pond represents one of the last sedimentary islands in Limousin.
The reserve hosts educational activities and events at the Reserve House to raise public awareness about environmental protection.
Four bird observatories and a 7-kilometer trail allow visitors to observe wildlife without disturbing the resident species.
