Réserve naturelle régionale de l'Escaut-rivière, Regional nature reserve in Proville, France.
The reserve spans 60 hectares of wetlands along the Escaut River, featuring agricultural meadows on the left bank and alluvial forest on the right bank.
The site underwent a 15-year restoration project before its official designation as a regional nature reserve on October 10, 2011.
The reserve contains traditional agricultural elements including pollarded willows and hedgerows that represent the historical farming practices of the Cambrésis region.
Visitors can access the 2-kilometer trail system from the Proville town hall parking area, following Rue Camier for 300 meters to reach the entrance.
The reserve hosts 524 documented species across 10 groups, including the European-protected Vertigo moulinsiana snail and the endangered brook avens plant.
