Small stone house where you can discover the flora and fauna of the Marais de Grée
The Maison du Marais de Grée is owned by the Loire-Atlantique Department.
This small stone house houses a permanent exhibition showcasing the history, flora and fauna of the Marais de Grée. There are several information boards around the house.
A remarkable natural area, the Marais de Grée stretches 4 km from north to south and 8.5 km from east to west, from Ancenis-Saint-Géréon to Vair-sur-Loire. In summer, the large dry meadows dotted with canals give way to the vast expanses of water seen in winter.
The bird observatory, near the Maison du Marais, offers the chance to witness the ballet of birds such as herring gulls, Eurasian spoonbills and cattle egrets, providing a moment of contemplation and a sense of fulfilment.
Following the footpath, a wooden bridge juts out over the marsh, opening our senses to the exceptional natural surroundings.
Walks and guided tours are organised by local organisations to help visitors explore this area, which is designated as a Natura 2000 site.
