Presentation

Situated below the Basse-Loire maritime canal, known as ‘de la Martinière’, the Vue marsh is a natural area of around 450 hectares. Take a stroll and discover its flora and fauna ! Keep your eyes peeled for storks !
 A little history :
Formerly known as the "Buzay meadows", this area of more or less wet marshland is subject to flooding. It extends towards the Acheneau marsh in the villages of Rouans and Cheix-en-Retz.
Even today, numerous freshwater arms, known as "moats" or small "canals", allow the marsh to be irrigated by opening and closing sluice gates here and there, depending on the demands of farmers and the seasons. 

 Here are 3 good reasons to come and discover this natural area, classified Natura 2000 :
  • As a land of meadows and a source of life, the marsh is a flat area, ideal for walking or cycling
  • As an area of crops and pasture, the marsh is a natural nesting place for birds, with many species to be seen every season ; grey herons, sandpipers, marsh harriers, lapwings, mute swans, falcons, herring and brown gulls, black-headed gulls, coots, shoveler ducks, white storks and other migratory birds
  • Dive into this labyrinth of vegetation and come and observe the diversity of its habitat, which is home to other terrestrial and aquatic species: frogs and other amphibians, reptiles, insects, cowbirds, numerous species of fish such as eels, etc.
