Willow bushes, marshy areas and reeds - the Sauer Delta nature reserve is an unusual landscape! It was declared a nature reserve by ministerial decree in 1997 and 486 ha were protected. From an ornithological, botanical and landscape perspective, it is a truly exceptional area and one of the last regions in France where the Rhine floodwaters can still spread out.

Joy and sadness in one place. A small piece of artistic originality. 👍🏻 In sight, just a few steps away, a Royal Air Force plane catches your eye. ...a memorial to sad times.

The memory of the downing of a Royal Air Force aircraft. It should serve as a warning to us not to play with fire again.
