The courants d'Huchet nature reserve
An immense wealth of biodiversity
Each of the park’s ecological units is home to a precious and varied natural heritage characteristic of the wetland in question. The richness of the Reserve is linked to the uniqueness of each environment, which also evolves in perfect symbiosis with the surrounding areas. The dunes on the coast, the peat bogs and marshes near the lake, the riverbanks with their lush vegetation… Each area is home to a rich ecosystem in every season. The Réserve Naturelle du courant d’Huchet, on a corridor used by migratory birds, is even recognized at European level as a site for the protection of endangered species (mink, otters, etc.). Spectacular marsh hibiscus, water clover, Osyris or Rouvet… Its rich diversity of flora also makes it a place to be admired without moderation. On some sections, the shady Courant d’Huchet even takes on an Amazonian air! If you choose the water route, you’ll have to thread your way through the willows and other trees that bend and reflect in the river.
