In the Norman lands, where the Seine and the Channel meet, the Marais-Vernier is a splendid nature reserve born from an ancient bend of the Seine. This hidden treasure away from the bustle of the big cities and offers peace and tranquillity to its visitors. Among the many ways to appreciate this unspoiled landscape, donkey rides at the ‘Gîte de l'Ânerie’ are one of the most authentic ways to feel at one with the environment. These four-legged guides, which can live up to 40 years, are very pampered in the marsh.
