General presentation
Parc naturel de la Brenne
Land of the thousand ponds, birds, villages, flat paths and quiet nature.
To understand what the natural park of the Brenne is, you have to look at Bird watching, Ponds and Calm. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by shores and lakes, natural spaces and the countryside and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: few urban activities. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Visitor centre
Maison du Parc de la Brenne
The Maison du Parc de la Brenne serves as a concrete introduction to the region: interior cartographic views, exhibition of the territory and immediate links with the trails around it. By spending a few minutes before walking, we can better understand the transitions between wetlands and soft reliefs. The rhythm then becomes more effective.
Pond
Étang de la Mer Rouge
The Red Sea pond deserves a side walk from the bank to the higher points to see changes in water and vegetation. Reflective surfaces vary quickly with the wind, which transforms colors in a few minutes. An open day allows you to enjoy the light game.
Village
Rosnay
Rosnay dresses in rural softness where center and periphery form a very natural web. Through the village and its outings, we can see the links between local architecture and humid landscape. An early visit to the day reveals traffic details better.
Village
Mézières-en-Brenne
Mézières-en-Brenne is a good example of a small centre where local life and nature routes coexist. The place lights up as we alternate places, bridges and secondary paths. Slowing down is essential to make the texture of the materials appear.
