The Etang de Salais belongs to one of these paradises for fisherman. Dug at the exit of the large wood of Saint-Lomer, you will find many rods in search of carp. The place is also of a relaxing calm that invites you to take a siesta.

The wood of Saint-Lomer is a vast forest with abundant fauna and flora. The absence of a main road and the structure of its land (made of swamp and sediment) allows nature to exalt itself. Take the time to walk there and why not, to get lost.
