The Poud (Etang Fontmerle), located on the edge of the Valmasque departmental park, is a remarkable and rare site with a 5 hectare environment.
It is a pond in its natural state that houses an astonishing collection of lotuses, established in the 1960s by its former owner, Mr. Gridaine, and which has since been the largest Lotus colony in Europe.
These sublime species bloom from July to mid-September with blooming flowers 25 centimeters in diameter and leaves up to 1 meter. Bald Cypress trees, which line the body of water are native to Florida and develop roots out of the ground called Pneumatophores.
