In the palus there was once a port where stones from the nearby quarries, but also from the meadows and woods, were loaded onto rafts. Today, this protected place makes it possible to maintain the species in optimal ecological conditions. Rare plant species are present there. Identify the sedge with its triangular stem, once bedding for local ranchers. You will be able to observe many birds, reptiles and butterflies, and if you are lucky, the otter or even the European mink!
Head for the stone quarries, exploited mainly in the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries. The extracted stone is used in local construction sites but also in Libourne and Bordeaux. The Saint-André cathedral or the facade of the quays in Bordeaux were built with this magnificent blond stone! Abandoned, transformed into mushroom beds, these quarries are places of great beauty! Unusual places punctuate the route: the wash house of Nolly and the church of Saint-Michel-de-Marcamps...
