Description

Le Marais de l'Aulnay was previously used by the Port of Rouen to store materials extracted from the bed of the river Seine. The Port then decided to return the site to nature and to open it to the public. A nature trail now runs through the renatured wetland. Birds you can observe include silkkikerttunen, vihertikka, käpytikka, ruokokerttunen and pajusirkku.
