The Saint-Aubin pond, fed by the Verzée, is a pond located in the French commune of Pouancé, in the department of Maine-et-Loire. Probably before the 12th century, the Saint-Aubin pond, covering 42 hectares, is divided into the Saint-Aubin pond, the Saint-Jacques pond and the Pouancé pond. history : From the twelfth century, the priory of Madeleine had fishing tithe rights on the Pouancé ponds. At the beginning of the 13th century, the lord of Pouancé, William III, decided to establish a dike on the Verzée, thus creating the Pouancé pond, at the foot of the medieval castle[3]. A pier was built on the Saint-Aubin pond to allow the parishioners of Pouancé to access the parish church of Saint-Aubin de Pouancé. This levee is, however, often submerged[4]. In 1977, the commune of Pouancé developed the body of water into a nautical base by building a beach and a campsite nearby. source: https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tang_de_Saint-Aubin
