Between the Mediterranean and the hinterland, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur is home to exceptional ponds and bodies of water, beginning with the Camargue and its iconic Étang de Vaccarès, a jewel of biodiversity where pink flamingos and migratory birds nest. The Étang de Berre, one of the largest saltwater lagoons in Europe, completes this unique aquatic heritage, alongside numerous freshwater Provençal bodies of water. From enclosed waters suited to fish farming to running waters prized by fishing enthusiasts, these environments appeal to lovers of nature and of waterfowl hunting. Around Marseille, Aix-en-Provence and Arles, these spaces attract buyers and investors seeking a rare setting. Buying a pond in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur requires knowledge of the regulations: depending on the surface area, a declaration or an authorisation may be required, and wetlands benefit from special protection. Regular upkeep — draining, monitoring the dykes, filtration and bank management — remains essential to preserve water quality and the balance of the ecosystem.
