The Grand Site du Marais Poitevin, France

The uniqueness of the region

The landscapes of the wet marsh are made up of two highly characteristic elements that exist side by side: the river system, with a sophisticated hierarchy of waterways and the *plant fabric*, which brings volume, colours and perspectives with its ash trees, poplars, willows and alders. The landscape changes from an open lattice work of different shades of grey in winter, to a place of hidden scenery in summer - dominated by multiple shades of green and inviting you to sit and meditate in the shade of the foliage, along canals covered in duckweed.
