The mix of woods, wetlands, cliffs and agricultural areas offers a diversity of landscapes and a mosaic of natural environments. This attracts a large number of animal and plant species.

Le site est désormais ultra-protégé, c'est à dire qu'en dehors de l'observatoire indiqué sur le plan, la plupart des accès aux points d'observation et en particulier au confluent lui même, sont interdits.
De plus, le site ferme assez tôt le soir avec verbalisation des retardataires à la clé
Merci beaucoup pour l'information. Nous traduisons le message ci-dessous.
The site is now ultra-protected, that is to say that apart from the observatory indicated on the map, most access to observation points and in particular to the confluence itself, are prohibited.
In addition, the site closes quite early in the evening with fines for latecomers.
Bonjour, le circuit décrit ici est réalisable sans problème. Les zones de quiétude pour les oiseaux existent depuis la création de la réserve (2016).
