Un paysage unique en France : l’Étang de...

Bunt Podcast
About this episode

In this episode of La Pause Café Croissant, I take you to the stunning viewpoint above the Étang de Montady, a unique star-shaped agricultural landscape in southern France. I reached it after a tough climb on my bike 70 km in the legs and a steep hill to finish!

From the top, you can admire one of the most surprising man-made landscapes in France. Once a swamp, it was drained in the Middle Ages and transformed into fields arranged like slices of a pie. It’s both a historic feat and a visual marvel.

Perfect for intermediate French learners who enjoy travel stories, cultural discoveries, and authentic vocabulary from real experiences.
