Étang de Malzoné, Natural pond in Millançay, France.
The Malzone pond features a water surface surrounded by vegetation where herons, egrets, swans and coots find shelter in their natural environment.
The pond was identified as an area of ecological interest during the first ZNIEFF inventory, confirming its importance for regional biodiversity.
Photographers and bird watchers gather around the pond to document the various species that inhabit this body of water in the Sologne region.
Visitors can access the pond via departmental road 922 and use the designated rest areas for nature observation.
In 2002, biologists discovered five notable plant species including Elatine alsinastrum, a rare aquatic plant in the Centre region.
