Presentation
With a total area of 7ha including 4ha of water, this body of water is reserved for fishing, picnic and promenade.
During the years 1975 to 1980, a major project was born: the construction of the TGV line Paris-Lyon in the town of Saint-Etienne-sur-Chalaronne. A plot of land offered abundant and quality gravel. After extracting several thousand m3 of this gravel, the Tallard water body was born. . Today it is named after the former mayor of the village: Charles Bailly.
Since the vegetation has regained its place and the regular maintenance offers in aerial view a magnificent spectacle. With a total area of 7 hectares, including 4 hectares of water, many birds have taken up residence and various species of fish breed in abundance.
