Étang de Loudon, Artificial pond in Parigné-l'Évêque, France.
The Loudon pond extends through a forest complex containing peat zones, wet and dry moors, and natural grasslands in the Sarthe department.
The location retains evidence of a former priory and contains sections of an ancient Roman road that once crossed this area of Sarthe.
The pond forms part of a nationally recognized ecological zone that protects local flora and fauna species in the Pays de la Loire region.
An 8-kilometer marked trail circuit starts from the Loudonneaux parking area, suitable for both hiking and mountain biking activities.
The iron-rich waters of the surrounding streams create distinct color patterns along the paths that border the pond.
