Le Marais aux Oiseaux

Discover Le Marais aux Oiseaux

Niché entre Dolus-d’Oléron et Saint-Pierre-d’Oléron, le Marais aux Oiseaux est recouvert par une grande forêt de feuillus. Ainsi, il s’étire sur d’anciens marais salant. De plus, le paysage et la biodiversité sont remarquables. Sur cette zone naturelle classée « espace naturel sensible », sont installés un centre de sauvegarde de la faune sauvage et le parc de découverte à vocation pédagogique.

A preserved sanctuary

The goal is to actively protect nature and raise public awareness about the importance of preserving the environment. You can explore the area by following a 1.5 km trail that is suitable for all levels. Information signs provide insights into the lives of the animals you'll encounter. For a glimpse of birds of prey, wading birds, and other waterfowl thriving in their natural habitat, climb the 9-meter-high observatory! It also offers a breathtaking view of the entire Bird Marsh site. There's also a mini-farm where you can interact with various mammals and birds.
