Let yourself be surprised
This former peat bog, which has not been exploited since 2004, was classified as a sensitive natural area the following year. The ecological role of a peat bog of this type is little known, but it is an important one. Covering 188 hectares, a quarter of which is occupied by a pond, more than 1,500 plant and animal species have found refuge there. Some of them are strictly protected.
Birds are at home here. You can admire white storks, grey herons, boreal tits and even hobby falcons. The plants are not to be outdone, with prehistoric ferns, royal fern and a protected carnivorous plant called Drosera. More exotic still, it’s not uncommon to come across praying mantises, or more rarely, the bloody cricket.
