At the heart of Bourges, France, you will find a natural treasure that enthrals visitors with its unique ecosystems and rich biodiversity: the Marshes of Bourges. Stretching over vast areas, these marshes include a diverse range of habitats, including wetlands, reed beds and shallow waters, and are home to numerous plant and animal species. But the area"s significance extends beyond its ecological importance, as it holds historical—the marshes served as a defence until the 17th century— and cultural relevance to the local communities that organise the annual Marshes Fair in September. Over the years, various efforts have been made to preserve and protect the delicate balance of this ecosystem, promoting sustainable practices and eco-tourism to raise awareness about its conservation.
