Here, in this labyrinth of canals, far from the seaside hustle and bustle of Saint-Br\u00e9vin-Les-pins, time flows differently. Forget your car in Saint-Joachim or Saint-Malo-de-Guersac and take a barge to discover part of the <strong>Bri\u00e8re marshes<\/strong>. A maze of waterways, streams and rivers intermingle to create the magic of a unique place. If between two banks, the lapping of the water has awakened a common snipe and her young. Let yourself be carried away&#8230; Unless you&#8217;d rather stay on dry land? Visit the <strong>Maison du Parc<\/strong> de Kerhinet, set in the heart of the picturesque hamlet, in one of the <strong>traditional thatched cottages of the Bri\u00e8re region<\/strong>. Choose the route of your choice from the Bri\u00e8re Regional Park&#8217;s 700 km of signposted itineraries. On foot, by bike or on horseback, alone, with family or friends, discover the diversity of this precious heritage.         <br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La Bri\u00e8re, a diversity of landscapes<\/h2>\n\n<p><br\/><br\/><strong>Herons, egrets, whiskered titmice, marsh harriers<\/strong>&#8230; Or <strong>white buttercups, milfoil, callitriches, pondweeds, marsh orchids<\/strong>&#8230; All protected species that live here almost year-round. Between marsh and bocage, the Bri\u00e8re is home to a remarkable biodiversity of flora and fauna. Birdwatching enthusiasts and nature-loving neophytes with a thirst for discovery alike will be won over by this spectacle.    <br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An internationally classified site<\/h2>\n\n<p><br\/><br\/>In 1970, the reunited marshlands were designated the Bri\u00e8re Regional Nature Park. The <strong>Bri\u00e8re and Brivet marshes<\/strong> are an integral part of a vast network of wetlands along the Atlantic coast, between the Loire and Vilaine estuaries, the Golf du Morbihan and the Gu\u00e9rande salt marshes. Since 1995, the <strong>wetlands<\/strong> of the Parc naturel r\u00e9gional de Bri\u00e8re have been designated a <strong>Ramsar Site<\/strong> for their importance in conserving waterfowl populations. This international recognition aims to preserve the biodiversity of the planet&#8217;s most remarkable wetlands. In 2006, the Park joined the European Natura 2000 network. Awe-inspiring.     <\/p>\n\n<p>Ask for the program of guided walks and museum visits:<br\/><br\/><strong>Les Maisons de Parc :<\/strong><br\/>F\u00e9drun<br\/>214, rue du Chef de l&#8217;\u00eele &#8211; 44 720 Saint-Joachim<br\/>Tel . 02 40 91 68 68<br\/><br\/><strong>Kerhinet :<\/strong><br\/>Village de Kerhinet &#8211; Saint-Lyphard<br\/>Tel : 02 40 66 85 01<br\/>mail : <a href=\"mailto:maisonduparc@parc-naturel-briere.fr\">maisonduparc@parc-naturel-briere.fr<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>photo@Manuel\/Pixabay<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located just a few minutes from your Les Rochelets campsite, the Parc naturel r\u00e9gional de Bri\u00e8re covers almost 54,800 hectares of marshland.
