The flora wildlife

This important reservoir of natural habitats that makes up the landscape of the marsh, a lagoon immersed at high tide, is home to nearly 470 plant species, including 2 particularly protected: the Asphodel of Arrondeau and the fern of the marshes. Crossing the dike, you will observe a mosaic of environments adapted to salt and humidity, such as herbaria, the important reed bed or the salicornaie. The samphire is a small halophyte plant (that is to say adapted to the salty environment) edible with a very salty taste and can be prepared like green beans.
