Delta de la Dranse Nature Reserve
Highlight • Natural Monument
It is located on one of the most important European migration routes and is a stopover for many birds, including cormorants, herons and raptors.
Unfortunately, the Dranse Delta is only partially preserved - most of it was built by housing estates and industrial estates and converted for a large marina and gravel factory. In between, a narrow strip of floodplain forest has been preserved along the course of the river.
Hopefully this will not take its revenge one day ... In recent years, flood disasters have multiplied and construction measures like this have also played a role.

Château de Ripaille
Highlight • Castle
The castle itself has been classified as a historic monument since 1942. The surrounding buildings (for example, the entrance pavilion, the Bonne de Bourbon tower, the pavilion, the Carthusian cell and the agricultural buildings of the former Carthusian monastery) are classified since 1991.
