Nature
The Chaumes des Séverins are calcareous grasslands classified as a Natura 2000 site. Sheep are used to graze the 14-hectare area in order to preserve the open habitats and prevent excessive scrub encroachment. This allows typical and rare plants, as well as distinctive wildlife including butterflies and grasshoppers, to thrive.
The Marais du Pradeau is a wetland and a testament to the former peat bogs and marshes of the Boëme. 71 plant species and 115 animal species have been recorded there.
