The village of Montselgues

Montselgues is a picturesque village in the Ardèche department of France, renowned for its remarkable peat bog. It lies close to the village, offering visitors and naturalists alike a unique opportunity to explore a unique environment.

The Narsette peat bog

The Montselgues peat bog is home to a high level of biological diversity, with rare plant species adapted to wetlands. It is a place of ecological interest where carnivorous plants such as the round-leaved drosera can be observed, as well as orchid and shrub species specific to this type of environment.

As well as its ecological value, the peat bog is also a place where walkers and nature lovers can relax and discover new things. Signposted footpaths allow you to explore this unspoilt area while respecting the environment.

The Narsettes peat bog at Montselgues is therefore a valuable natural heritage site for the Ardèche region, contributing to its ecological richness and tourist appeal.
