When we hear marsh of Longueil, we think of nature, birds singing, peace… It is a natural site located in the heart of a village where life is good!
Follow the path and listen to the lapping of the Saâne, you will surely see some dragonflies or damselflies flying over it.
The undergrowth leads to the communal pond populated with reeds and marsh iris where frogs will welcome you with their croaking.
Continue the walk to discover the new pond and the donkeys that have taken up residence on the former soccer field redeveloped as a natural area.
As you stroll along the water’s edge, inhale the sweet scent of water mint that abounds in the marsh.
Did you know? Until the 14th century the sea went up to here. We even find mention in the writings of a port in Longueil!
To extend the stroll, the cobbled street leads us directly to the sumptuous Saint-Pierre church and into the small street of the town hall where beautiful residences are set up. Further on, a restored barn and a pretty viewpoint on a pond await you.
The floral and animal species populating the place are to be discovered on the sign at the entrance of the marsh but also by picking up the leaflet at the Terroir de Caux Tourist Office.
Don’t hesitate to come and experience it in real life! A picnic area awaits you on site and our four-legged friends are welcome at the Marais de Longueil.
