They are also very rich biotopes whose ecological role is undeniable. These sensitive natural environments must be preserved The existence of a mardelle can have several origins: especially geological: the erosion of the rock in depth by water creates a collapse of the ground. The excavation is gradually filled in by the earth which, after many years, ends up making the bottom waterproof. The water stagnates there and the vegetation and the aquatic life settle there. sometimes human: from ancient times to the 19th century, man has been able to take advantage of these excavations or dig the earth to extract materials. In other rare cases, shell holes can be the origin of recent mardelles Follow the yellow line marking
