The Mai pond and the Moïles loop, in the towns of Vourey and Tullins, are the remains of the wanderings of the Isère in the middle part of its course. These spaces conserve wetlands with a rich and diverse fauna.
Several ancient meanders of the Isère, by deepening the glacial valley of Grésivaudan, have left their imprint of wet meadows and woodlands. These remarkable samples of meadows and alluvial forests make it possible to imagine the wild plain of Isère before the hydraulic and motorway developments. The interest of these sites is above all to conserve environments that have become rare today.
The presence of rare species such as marsh ragwort, reed bunting, and Mercury bluet confirms the importance of these sites. But the most remarkable habitats are the marsh orchid meadows, which are also favorable to birds and the large copper butterfly. The softwood woodlands shelter numerous woodpeckers and wood-boring insects, all of which are declining.
Fun and engaging resources allow you to discover its history, its formation and its use by humans throughout the centuries.
