A Unique Ecosystem
The Marais de Bonnefont covers more than 42 hectares and is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species. The site is particularly well known for its wetlands, which play a crucial role in regulating water quality and preserving natural habitats. Marshes are essential for the conservation of many species, including migratory birds, which find an ideal refuge here.

As far as wildlife is concerned, the Marais de Bonnefont is a birdwatcher’s paradise. Here you can observe rare bird species such as grey herons, black storks and kingfishers. Wetlands also attract a multitude of insects, amphibians and small mammals, contributing to a balanced and diverse ecosystem.
Activities for All
The reserve offers several marked hiking trails, perfect for walks with family and friends. The routes are designed to be accessible to all, allowing you to discover the treasures of the marsh at your own pace. Information panels are scattered along the trails to inform you about the ecological specificities of the site and ongoing conservation efforts.
For the more curious, guided tours are organized on a regular basis. These outings, led by local experts, will enable you to learn more about the reserve’s conservation initiatives and observe the flora and fauna in greater depth.
