The Andryes' Marsh path

Marked hike n°62.
This site located in the void diagonal, as some like to say, conceals many assets.
If, with the help of agricultural machinery, the search for productivity was the goal in the middle of the 20th century, it has not led to the expected results. Today, it is towards a restoration of biodiversity that we are moving. The fauna and flora are gradually returning.
Discovering this heritage also helps to educate children.
Superb educational walk!

Description of the walk

The departure is located at the parking lot situated down the road RD39.

(S/E) Follow the path with the pond on the left. Turn left to continue and keep the pond on the left. Go around by the path often laid out in the undergrowth.

(1) Arrived at the end of the pond, turn left once to join the access road and take it to the right.

(2) Go left at the aqueduct. Cross the river on the footbridge and turn right to reach the Buffières bridge. Turn left without crossing the bridge and reach a second bridge.

(3) Just before this bridge, turn left, continue along the canal on your right. In front of the barrier, take the footbridge on the right. At the exit, turn left and follow this canal. In front of the hedge, turn left, cross over the footbridge.

(4) Turn left, then cross the Druyes River (also called the Andryes Rill) by the wooden footbridge.
At the exit of it, prefer either opposite, the path on the wooden path lined with reeds or, at the exit of the footbridge, choose to take the path of Naturalness.
In both cases, arrive on the old railway line, go left.
Join the parking lot (S/E).
