The Moselle is home to one of the most emblematic territories in France for lovers of water bodies: the Pays des Étangs (Land of Ponds), nestled within the Lorraine Regional Nature Park. Here you will find the Lindre pond, one of the largest ponds in France and a major centre of fish farming, as well as the famous Lorraine ponds of Dieuze and Gondrexange. These ponds come in the form of closed waters, fed by rainfall and springs, and flowing waters connected to watercourses, each governed by a distinct legal regime. Their uses are many: breeding of carp, pike and pikeperch, fishing, hunting and ornithology, in habitats of remarkable biodiversity. Many of these sites lie within protected wetlands. Acquiring a pond in the Moselle means understanding the regulations well: depending on the surface area, a declaration or an authorisation is required, and rigorous upkeep (draining, dyke monitoring, filtration systems) ensures the longevity of the ecosystem. Around Metz, Sarrebourg, Dieuze and Thionville, these ponds appeal to fish farmers and nature enthusiasts alike.
