From the White Sea to the Mousterlin marsh
Description
Immerse yourself in preserved nature classified Natura 2000, between sea and marshes. During this walk, you will be able to breathe the wild scent of the coastline, appreciate the tranquility of the bocage and observe the richness of the marshes, such as their changing reflections where little egrets and gray herons feed. Listen to the birdsong and watch them carefully from the observatory. A small detour through the countryside will lead you to the discovery of the Saint-Sébastien chapel, a haven of peace nestled in lush greenery. Binoculars and a camera are essential to capture the beauty of the landscapes and the diversity of the fauna and flora!
