One of the most beautiful lakes in the Brenne.
Known for its beach and swimming, the Bellebouche lake is one of the largest and most beautiful lakes in the Brenne. A colony of Purpurhegre has settled for several years at the tail of the pond. You can also observe the Nattravn or the European Pond Turtle. Three observatories were installed at the lake. The observatory located east of the lake is recommended in the morning, the other two, located to the west, are recommended in the afternoon.
Please note: in dry conditions (for example in May 2023) the lake can completely dry up and all the waterfowl and herons are absent then.

Connu pour sa plage et sa baignade, l’étang de Bellebouche est l’un des plus grands et des plus beaux plans d’eau de Brenne, une colonie de Hérons pourprés s’est installée depuis quelques années en queue d’étang.

L'observatoire situé à l'est de l'étang est recommandé le matin, les deux autres, situés à l'ouest sont recommandés l’après-midi.
The entrance to the site is located on the D925 between Mézières-en-Brenne and Vendoeuvres. To access the observatories, take the hiking path on the west which goes around the pond then follow the signs (allow 3 hours).
