This pond was in fact built by the Benedictine monks of the neighboring priory of Louroux to provide them with fish and a supply of water for the mill.

The Louroux pond site is made up of two ponds: the Reed Pond, which resulted from the construction of a dike by the monks in the 11th century, and the Beaulieu Pond. The natural area of the Louroux pond is a wetland which hosts a great diversity of species. Fish raised in the body of water are the subject of large traditional fisheries.
