Espace Naturel Sensible du Marais de la Besseye

Located in the municipalities of Villemoirieu and Saint-Romain-de-Jalionas, the Besseye marsh is one of the last large wetlands in the east of Lyon. Thematic trail: educational pond, observation pontoons… and information panels.
Covering 35 hectares, this remarkable natural area is home to a great diversity of natural environments dominated by reedbeds and cladiaie, formations characteristic of low marshes.
This mosaic of wetlands, Alder woods and dry meadows has allowed the establishment of heritage plant and animal species.
Many amphibians such as the palmate newt or the natterjack toad frequent ponds and flooded areas as well as a large number of threatened plant species such as the marsh germander or the false buttercup Baldellia.
