Parc naturel régional de la Brenne

The archaeologist of the Brenne Regional Natural Park will take us to the meadows and moors of the Regional Natural Reserve, on the buttons and the dikes of ponds. It will help us to find the multiple clues to understand the history of the places and we can, with it, discover the answers to the old questions: how old are the ponds? Why were they created? By whom? Did the legendary Brennan monks really clean up a hostile and uninhabited swamp?
