Visitors’ opinions and testimonials
"We discovered the Brière marshes by chance and took the boat tour. I recommend first thing in the morning. Super calm and peaceful with the sun. The guide explains everything about the history, flora and fauna. An enjoyable time.
Don’t forget to reward the guide at the end of the tour" July 2023
"A peaceful place, where you can hire a boat at a very reasonable price (18 euros for 2 people) and get lost in the marshes for any length of time. We spent 4 hours there and had a picnic in the boat, meeting herons, egrets, spoonbills and coypu. Very nice!" September 2023
