The
Triaize Polders
Polders are
fertile clay soils. Protected from high seas and the threat of flooding by
knowledgable management of the water table.
Created over three hundred years ago these polders are today given over to grazing cattle and cerial production.
Over the tens of kilometers of encircling dykes and the discharge chanels of Canal de Lucon and Canal Vieux with their tidal gates and locks these polders are protected and seperated from the coast.
This landscape devoid of trees except the hardy Tamerisk which forms barriers to the westerly winds is a landscape of black soils where Montagu's Harrier and Marsh Harriers flourish, where one can spot the 5 species of Herons that frequent the Vendee and during the autumn the migrating ducks and geese find rest-bite on their journey south.
