Description
Pásztorgém Kis lile The Marais salants de La Couarde are traditional salt pans located on the Île de Ré. The salt pans are part of a centuries-old tradition of salt production, where seawater is channeled into shallow ponds and allowed to evaporate, leaving behind salt crystals. The area attracts water birds and waders such as Kis kócsag, Gólyatöcs, Bütykös ásólúd, billegetőcankó, Szürke cankó, Piroslábú cankó, Szerecsensirály and Küszvágó csér.
