The wet meadows and woodlands of the Domaine du Colmoulins border the Saint-Laurent river. Composed of a mosaic of environments (wet meadows, woodland, reedbeds, watercourses, etc.), this wetland plays a role in retaining water in the event of flooding, and encourages the preservation of nature. It is home to a large number of insects, including some remarkable species of dragonfly.
In the 18th century, the Domaine du Colmoulins, belonging to the Château du Grand Colmoulins, included farm buildings, springs, meadows, wet meadows, woods and an alder grove. In the 1960s, the farm declined with the arrival of modern, intensive agriculture. Some abandoned buildings were demolished. Today, a barn and the grounds are maintained by the Département to preserve the site?s biodiversity.
The site is owned and managed by the Département de la Seine-Maritime.
