La Brière by barge with Valerie is a one hour trip on a traditional flat-bottomed boat, steered by a pole, without motor of course.
Along the canals, Valerie plunges her pole, you glide on the water; she tells you the history of this exceptional place: duck hunting, invasive crayfish, the hares of the marshes - otherwise known as the coypu.
She was born there and, as guardian of the traditions, she allows you to share the colours and smells of this protected ecosystem: 70 km of fresh water, 836 hectares of canals, reed beds, flood meadows... Thanks to Valérie, you can get close to the soul of the Marais.

A beautiful oak forest reigned in place of the current marshes.
Over the years, the trees were engulfed in the peaty soil of the Briere. Imprisoned in this natural sarcophagus, deprived of air and oxygen, the trunks were loaded with silica and preserved admirably.
This wood of great nobility is called Morta.
Today, Jean-Henri Pagnon and his team extract this Morta wood themselves to make top-of-the-range knives.
A visit to the workshop is not to be missed, we are fans!
A few lengths away from the port of La Turballe, Hoëdic, Houat, and Belle Ile en Mer are waiting for you!
You will embark on a journey in the bay or for several days trip to discover those beautiful pieces of land. Less than an hour and a half crossing for Hoëdic or Houat.Company Finist’Mer.
Going to la Turballe by car: 11km
This hamlet, acquired in 1973 by the Park and entirely renovated, houses the Park House, open all year round. A living memory of the traditional habitat of the Brière, Kerhinet has a pedestrian complex of eighteen thatched cottages. An interpretation trail leads you to the washhouse and the bread oven, telling you about the habits and customs of the village's former inhabitants.
Hiking and biking trails leave from the village; every Thursday in summer, there is a market with local products. Before you leave, don't forget to visit the Chaumière des Saveurs et de l'Artisanat!
