Description

La Feuillée is a cross-border reserve of 16 hectares with a little pond. It was exploited as a gravel pit in the 1930s, backfilled and then abandoned for years, but birds and other animals spontaneously colonized the place again. Among the birds you can encounter are European Bee-eater, Red-backed Shrike, Black-necked Grebe, Little Grebe, Eurasian Skylark and Corn Bunting.
