Etang de la Pouge

Discover the natural riches of the Etang de la Pouge, in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional Périgord-Limousin, near the picturesque village of Saint Auvent. A high-quality natural area renowned for its ecological richness, the site is made up of remarkable environments linked to the presence of water - small ponds, amphibian lawns, alder groves, ash groves - each sheltering characteristic flora and fauna (loose-flowered orchis, marsh iris, yellow-bellied sounder...). An ornithological observatory enables visitors to learn how to recognize waterfowl (grey heron, great egret, moorhen, mallard duck...). An ideal place for nature lovers!

The site is maintained and preserved by the Département de la Haute-Vienne, which works with local partners to control invasive species and improve water quality.
