LES GRANDES ÎSLES
Les Grandes îsles is a walk in the heart of the Parc de Brière, covering the communes of Saint-Joachim and Saint-Malo-de-Guersac. In these communes, each island is a village and each village is organised in a concentric, typical way, almost unchanged for generations.
Departure : Church car park - Ile de Pendille.This 9.5 km hike takes you to the heart of the Briéron world and takes you from island to island. You'll discover each part of the islands with their specific functions: the canal runs around the island and links the houses to the marsh. The "levee" is home to vegetable gardens and (in the past) peat reserves. It is divided into plots, each corresponding to a thatched cottage. On either side, they border a road that runs around the island. In the centre, the "gagnerie" is devoted to the mill and agriculture.
