First step : The equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Equip yourself : a picnic, a big bottle of water, good shoes, sun cream and let’s go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second step : Departure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From your campsite, walk through the town of Talmont and reach the marshes. Count on a forty-five minute walk between town and country before arriving at the salty smells of these marshes. Once there, discover among the reeds, cattails and rushes, beautiful stretches of water. Here, everything is peaceful, you can hear nature live : the song of the birds and the sound of the wind.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Third step : Salt marshes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stop for a moment and contemplate the distant landscape. Immerse yourself in the smells of salt, pine and sand. Every breath of air is soothing. These swamps seem endless. Built in the shape of a comb, it is difficult to see the end. They are built on 1000 hectares of land and are fed by the Payr\u00e9 canal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In France, marshes can be freshwater, stagnant or saltwater. This marsh is indeed a salt marsh. For hundreds of years, and even since the Middle Ages, the salt workers<\/strong> have been harvesting salt by evaporating the sea water. Depending on the weather and the tides, the crops are never the same. This is a very interesting and complex process, which can be explained to you during a guided tour of these marshes. This visit is possible from the end of June to mid-September, on weekdays from Monday to Friday and for a fee of 6 euros for adults and 2 euros for children.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Fourth step : Fishponds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the salt marshes, it’s time for the fish marshes<\/strong>. A fishpond, what is it ? Also known as fishponds, these saltwater or freshwater basins are used to accommodate and promote the development of certain species. Algae or gastropods, such as periwinkles for example, thrive there. This also allows scientists to observe their evolution to understand the natural phenomena around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last step of our journey : Freshness break<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following this visit, we leave the saline waters, a little rest would not be of refusal. We suggest you take a short detour on your way back to your Sun Oc\u00e9an<\/strong> campground and sit down comfortably at La Petite Cr\u00eaperie<\/strong> for lunch or a cr\u00eape with a refreshing drink in the afternoon, all in a quiet and pleasant setting.<\/p>\n<\/div>
