Descripción

The Marais de Brouage is a 13,000-hectare marshland rich in biodiversity and history. Once a gulf, it was gradually silted up and transformed into salt marshes during the Middle Ages. At its heart lies the fortified town of Brouage, a 16th-century citadel that was once a major salt-trading port and is now one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (Most Beautiful Villages of France).

Brouage marsh was filled by sediments by the ocean from the 15th century onwards. Today, it’s a protected Natura 2000 site, home to hundreds of bird species and rare wildlife. It is a hotspot for marsh species, waders, herons and ducks. Best visited during spring and summer when the hunting season is closed and disturbance at the lowest.
