Barges and horse-drawn carriages in Saint-André des Eaux
Visitors, come and discover Grande Brière in a different way. This nature reserve is a haven of calm where you can take the time to observe and listen to a flower, a bird, a ripple on the water, the rustle of a duck's or heron's wings behind a few reeds...
VISIT BY BARGE - BRIÉRON BOAT
Jean-Sébastien Crusson, a professional Briéron guide, will take you on a 45-minute to 1-hour ecological tour of the marshes. Aboard a barge (boat), you'll glide silently along a multitude of canals to discover the typical species of the marshes: herons, ducks, coots, moorhens, spoonbills, blue throats, spring wagtails, reed buntings, wild boars, foxes, otters, gondola rats, muskrats, etc.
