Les étangs de Villepey, Ramsar protected area in Fréjus, France.

The Villepey ponds cover 260 hectares between the Argens River and the Mediterranean Sea, creating a wetland with lagoons and marshes.

The Coastal Conservation Authority acquired this territory in two distinct phases, in 1982 and 1997, to ensure its protection.

The area includes the Esclamandes Farm, which offers educational activities focused on the eco-solidarity garden and local animals.

The site features footbridges, platforms, and observatories that allow visitors to explore sensitive environments without causing damage.

The ponds represent one of the rare coastal wetlands between Camargue and Italy, with 220 recorded bird species.
