Saint-Malo-de-Guersac
In the heart of the regional nature reserve of the Brière marshland (second-largest marshland in France, after La Camargue), this inhabited rural territory is renowned for being exceptionally rich in heritage sites, fauna and magnificent landscapes.
In Rozé, after strolling along the canal over to the Pierre-Constant reserve, the observatory offers a deck with a rare panoramic view of water meadows, ponds and reed beds, along with a glimpse of Saint-Nazaire’s faraway naval shipyards on the horizon.
In the summer, the path running through the nature reserve offers a chance to visit different ornithological observation stations.
