Much more than a city lake... This large lake appears to be a nature reserve, but it was artificially created in the 1970s as a water buffer and recreation area for Bourges. It has since grown into a green oasis where you can spot a surprising number of migratory birds. An added bonus: in summer, concerts and events are regularly held around the lake.

A few trees are lying across a small section between the Lunery Bridge and the railway bridge. It's still possible to cross, but it needs to be cleared. Don't forget your pruning shears!
