Treat yourself to a break in the heart of the salt marshes and soft marshes.

CIRCUIT ENTRE MARAIS DOUX ET MARAIS SALÉS N°27

Departing from the Bourrine du Bois Juquaud, the route takes you through the peaceful La Fradinière and Le Pissot districts, which enjoy a particularly wooded setting. Gradually, the route takes you to different corners of the Saint Hilaire de Riez marshes.

In the heart of the Marais Breton, as you make your way through the marshes, watch the wildlife flourish in all seasons, and enjoy the narrow paths that wind their way through these stretches of water, far from civilisation.

While the area is renowned for being an important nesting and bird-watching zone for migratory birds, many mammals also populate the surrounding area, including market garden cows, donkeys and horses... All along your walk, you'll be sure to have some wonderful encounters.
