Between the aquatic plants that cover its surface and the forest that surrounds it, the pond creates varied landscapes, enhanced by the colors of autumn and the changing seasons.

The Cézille mill is a typical watermill from the Bresse region. It formerly used the motive power of the Reyssouze, an emblematic river of the region, to grind the product of the important local grain cultivation. Today it houses a museum.

The Royal Abbey of Brou was built at the beginning of the Renaissance at the request of Margaret of Austria (1480-1530), daughter of the Emperor, Duchess of Savoy, and Regent of the Netherlands. The church was intended to forever commemorate her love for her late husband, Philibert the Fair. Philibert II of Savoy died in 1504 at the Château de Pont-d'Ain at the young age of just 24 from the effects of a cold he caught while hunting.

Fishing pond, very beautiful path to walk around it. Wild ducks, egrets, herons... Private signs a little dissuasive, but the fishermen present encouraged us to enter. Picnic tables. No swimming.
