Landscape and Trails
The Marais de la presqu'île is a marshland between the Dordogne and Garonne rivers. The marshes have been managed since 1872 by an intermunicipal syndicate; Les Amis des Marais de Montferrand are involved in their preservation. At the end of the 16th century, the marshes were made available to the poor for hunting, fishing and gathering.

The route, known as Balade à Roulettes®, was designed as a short, peaceful walk for prams or small bicycles, as well as for people with reduced mobility using a wheelchair.
