Marais de la Seudre, Protected wetland in Charente-Maritime, France
The Marais de la Seudre extends across 12,000 hectares between Marennes and Saujon, featuring salt meadows, tidal flats, and coastal lagoons connected by a network of channels.
During Roman times, this vast natural space was converted into salt production areas, which contributed to the economic prosperity of the Saintonge region.
The marshland's transformation from salt production to oyster farming in the 17th century shaped the current landscape of basins where Marennes-Oléron oysters develop their flavor.
The natural area offers numerous walking paths throughout the year, allowing visitors to explore diverse ecosystems and observe local and migratory bird species.
The Moulin des Loges within the marsh contains a medieval hydraulic mechanism that operates according to tidal movements, restored to its original condition.
