Description

Marais de Misery is a big wetland that includes a mosaic of surprising natural environments (old wet woodlands, willow trees, alder groves, reed beds, meadows, etc.). An aquatic labyrinth of ponds and channels, corresponding to old peat pits, forms landscapes unsuspected less than 50 kilometers from Paris. The places are suitable for the passage of migratory birds that you can observe comfortably from several observatories. Osprey and Little Bittern are two of the special birds that breed in the marshes. Great Bittern can be seen in winter. See the extended birdlist below.
