Basses vallées angevines, Alluvial plain near Angers, France
Three rivers - Mayenne, Sarthe, and Loir - converge in this 5,000-hectare natural area, forming extensive grasslands intersected by hedgerows and poplar groves.
Agricultural practices in this region have remained constant through centuries, with farmers adapting their methods to regular flooding patterns and limiting land use to grazing.
The area holds international recognition through the Ramsar Convention and Natura 2000 network, standing alongside notable sites like Mont Saint-Michel Bay and Camargue.
The region features 100 kilometers of main hiking trails connected to 250 kilometers of local community paths, offering extensive exploration possibilities.
During winter floods, the grasslands transform into one of France's largest lakes, with only ash trees and poplars emerging above the water surface.
