Subjects : La Brenne is said to be one of France's best kept secrets this is probably due to the size of the area and its ability to remain hidden from the casual tourist. There are many private and restricted sections within the park but a good map and guide will open up a wealth of opportunities. It is an area of rich flora and fauna delicately preserved by its 'National Park' status. Since gaining its 'National Park' status in 1989 the area is now established as an exceptional location for bird life with over 260 species recorded of which 150 stay to breed. It not only birdlife that flourishes as the area is home to an abundant array of butterflies and dragonflies. The plant-life is also richly diverse ranging from orchids to vast reed beds to heathland and ancient oaks. The woodlands and heaths provide natural shelter for wild boer, roe and red deer. Many nature lovers and bird watchers now make this their annual destination making use of the numerous 'hides' and observation points dotted around the park.
