Plateau des Mille Étangs, Natural wetland region in Haute-Saône, France.

The Plateau des Mille Étangs stretches across 220 square kilometers, featuring 850 ponds scattered among forests, meadows, and traditional fishermen's huts.

During the Middle Ages, local communities transformed natural swamps into fish farming ponds, which later supported textile and paper industries in the 19th century.

The region earned the nickname 'Little Finland' due to its numerous water bodies and landscape characteristics similar to Finnish lake districts.

Visitors can explore the area through marked hiking trails, cycling paths, and fishing spots while enjoying various accommodation options in surrounding villages.

The area contains specific biotopes adapted to cold and humid conditions, protected under both ZNIEFF classification and Natura 2000 framework.
