Covering an area of 496 ha, the Salt Meadows Nature Reserve lives to the rhythm of the tides, which contributes to diversifying the habitats found on this site, which range from mudflats to permanently emerged land. This diversity of habitats has allowed the development of a specific flora of heritage interest which contributed to the creation of the reserve. This site is also an important area for the migration, wintering and breeding of many wetland birds.
The adventure begins on this somewhat arid site, which is why part of it is nicknamed "the Desert". It changes its face with the rhythm of the passing day and the rising and falling tide. Sometimes thirsty, sometimes flooded, the plant species, which the walker observes, have shown great acclimatization.
