A land of milk and honey where everything grows!

The Marais Blanc is the dried out part of the marsh located just behind the Duchesse Anne dike, the dike that has frozen the current coastline since the Middle Ages. It is part of the marsh of Dol which covers 12 000 hectares. It is made up of land composed of marine alluvium and clay that gives it its light color. Located below sea level, water control is a priority here. The marsh is crossed by several kilometers of biez or navigation canals that used to transport wood, reeds or fodder when the roads were impassable! Rich lands of light color where everything grows, from cauliflower to potatoes through all root vegetables. Everywhere you will be able to stock up on good vegetables and in all seasons, producers practicing direct sales.

From small stone bridges to locks along the biez

In the southern part, you go along the Biez du Milieu, a channel that drains the marsh at this location below sea level, with typical reedbed landscapes that are home to special wildlife. Numerous stone bridges (granite) built to cross the main biez mark out the landscape, like those of Rosais and La Goutte. They have a rather high architecture which allowed in the past the passage of barges. The middle biez, 3.5 km long, is delimited by 2 locks at its ends. The very ingenious system of gates for the management of water levels is managed by the Syndicat des Digues et marais.
