The stork has become the marsh’s iconic symbol: when the young stork takes flight from its family nest, it discovers this unspoilt natural landscape as it circles this ancient circular bend of the Seine, nestled within a vast amphitheatre of greenery. With its wet meadows stretching as far as the eye can see and its pretty thatched cottages, the Marais Vernier offers a landscape unique in Normandy that invites you to take a stroll, particularly in spring when the apple trees are in bloom.
