🌬️ Le Salaison – A secret spot for admiring barn swallows

Near the Salaison river, a discreet but charming must-see awaits nature lovers. This small stretch of water winds through reed beds and wet meadows, creating a perfect habitat for abundant biodiversity.

🐦 When spring arrives, barn swallows return from Africa and flit around the river to build their nests, often nestled under the roofs of huts or in the crevices of old buildings. Their swift and acrobatic flight enlivens the place, between sky and water.

🍃 This spot is ideal for birdwatchers or those seeking a quiet moment off the beaten track. Le Salaison offers a peaceful atmosphere, where only the rustling of reeds and birdsong disturb the silence.

📸 Top tip: Visit early morning or late afternoon for golden light and the best bird activity. And don't forget your camera!
