Description

The walking route to Le Marais du Hode begins in the middle of wet meadows. It crosses rich and diverse environments to end on the banks of the river Seine. A heron colony protected by a grove of trees is home to several species of herons. The raised Hode ferry pier makes it easier to observe birds from the reed beds. Gece Balikçili, Yalıçapkını, Sığır balıkçılı are some of the birds that can be observed. The ponds in the flood zones attract many waterbirds, as do the mudflats bordering the river. There are 3 observatories, the first 2 are accessible to disabled people.
