PEN SWAMP IN TOUL

The marsh of Pen en Toul is an exceptional natural site: it is the largest marsh in the west of the Gulf of Morbihan, a privileged place for migratory birds. Formerly an arm of the sea dyked to become a salt marsh, it became a protected area at the end of the 1990s. The site covers 42.2 hectares and is home to some 40 different species of birds and as many species of butterflies. A 3.5 km path leads around the site, discreetly for its inhabitants, and with all due respect to them.
