More information

Its woods, dominated by white poplars, willows and black poplars, and the reserve’s lagoon are home to a great many birds, notably the stork and the marsh harrier, a bird of prey typical of wetlands. You can also see horses, brought from the French Camargue, grazing among the marshes.

To watch the fauna and flora at leisure, the area has bird hides and raised walkways over the riverside forest, with short waymarked routes on foot. A stroll along the wooden walkways set among the trees also gives a panoramic view of the Flix meander with spectacular sunsets.
