Description

The ground is moving!
Yes, you're in the middle of the peat bog on a "raft" made of sphagnum moss (a variety of moss specific to peat bogs) which is like a real sponge.
Oh, and here's a plant that eats insects!
We'd like to introduce you to the "star" of peat bogs, the drosera, a carnivorous plant. But why is it here, in this environment where life is so difficult?
Doesn't it look like ruins in the middle of a peat bog?
Yes, there is also a heritage of human activity here, with a former glass industry located on the peat bog (or in the immediate vicinity). Here, in a few lines, is a tiny part of the riches of the Verrerie peat bog that we invite you to discover.
