Nestled in the heart of a wooded and preserved valley, the **Ruisseau de l'Étang Hervé** is a small, picturesque watercourse that calmly winds its way through the countryside before feeding the Gesvres. It is a true haven of freshness and biodiversity, particularly appreciated by hikers for the peaceful and intimate atmosphere it offers along its shaded trails. This wooden decking and footbridges that allow crossing the wetland and protected area of the **Marais du Ruisseau de l'Étang Hervé** were installed recently. The development work for this pedestrian path was awarded at the end of 2018 and the construction site was finalized and delivered between **late 2020 and early 2021** by the local company *Bois Loisirs Créations*. It is a superb structure that allows you to enjoy the coolness of the marsh without sinking into the mud and without damaging the ecosystem!
