ÉTANG DE LA VALLÉE

Surrounded by the Orléans forest, this 70-hectare pond was originally a reservoir for the Orléans canal. It is now a place for walks and leisure activities, with areas reserved for swimming and others for navigation (canoeing, kayaking, etc.). Two hiking trails have been developed: the sensory path of Carnutes and the Bois Bézards which goes around the pond and goes to the lookout Caillettes, the highest point of the forest of Orleans. The pond Combreux finds its counterpart with the pond of Bois, located in Vieilles-Maisons.
