😔 It's not what it was anymore. It's very abandoned. The pond has no water and there were no ducks many years ago. It is quite hidden, full of weeds.

I have not seen the raft or the ducks, which are swimming and eating in the River Ter. Because, having a whole river, who wants a puddle? Which does not take away from the pleasure of the pleasant walk that we can take here.
