MALAKOFF MARSHES - SMALL AMAZONIA
A swamp zone in the heart of Nantes! A former Loire flood meadow, the Malakoff marshes cover an area of 16 hectares classified Natura 2000, implying that the riches of its flora and fauna are protected. We cannot enter freely. In agreement with the City of Nantes, the Bird Protection League (LPO), however, allows you to visit this marsh, which was nicknamed Little Amazonia because of its luxuriance. The diversity of landscapes to see can only fascinate those who love wild nature: roseless, water bodies, alluvial forest, meadow, mares… Also presence of Highland cows (rustic Scottish race) which naturally maintain the grassland and pasture 10 months of the year. Since 2012, the Plague Sauvage, carried out as part of the centenary of the LPO and the Estuaire 2012 Contemporary Art Biennial, offers a privileged view of the site and its birds.
