Wooden Footbridges of Étang de Pirot

Highlight • Structure

Around the ponds in the Tronçais forest, the wooden footbridges avoid muddy passages for walkers. It is possible to take them by mountain bike even if some start and end with two or three steps. Some cannot be avoided and you have to be careful in rainy weather because the wood becomes VERY slippery!

Pirot Oak and Pirot Pond

Highlight • Natural Monument

Among the remarkable trees of the forest of Tronçais, the oak of Pirot near the pond of the same name, is easy to access and is conducive to contemplation (clearly, there are benches :-)). More tortured, lower than others, it denotes; 3.85 m in circumference!

Pirot Pond

Highlight • Other

The Étang de Pirot is an artificial lake created in 1846 to supply water to the Canal de Berry, a historic waterway that linked the Loire and the Cher. The pond covers an area of 78 hectares and is surrounded by the Tronçais forest, one of the largest oak forests in Europe. You can enjoy the view of the water, trees and wildlife as you walk along the shore or explore the two arms of the lake: the Cros-Chaud and the Guèrande. The Etang de Pirot is an ideal destination for a peaceful and refreshing hike in all seasons.
