The wetlands are fields of marshland. These 50 hectares of preservation area are made up of water gorged peat and constitute a rare ecosystem. Vast quantities of birds, insects, butterflies and abundant vegetation can be found here. Partly classified as a Sensitive Nature Area (ENS), the upkeep and maintenance of the wetlands is taken care of by the department's Hunting Federation (upkeep) and the town (hydraulic and planning network).
