The pond of Massy

This body of water initially created as a fishing reserve, surrounded by a communal forest, is today a natural space whose environmental interest is recognized. Thus, part of the site is integrated into the European Natura 2000 network identifying areas with strong ecological challenges.

Among the riches that have earned it this recognition, humid alder and ash forests, as well as an alternation of environments conducive to the presence of protected species of insects, birds and even bats.

But it is above all fishing that is in the spotlight in Massy. Appropriate management allows amateurs to try their luck with pike, tench, roach and other fish that make up the fish procession of this body of water.

Come and discover this place and enjoy its many activities, starting with fishing, with a pontoon fitted out and accessible for people with reduced mobility.
