Les quartiers pavillonnaires se densifient et s’étendent au Nord et au Sud de la nouvelle zone industrielle. L’autoroute vient scinder le bocage.

La ville habitée et les activités industrielles remplacent progressivement les paysages agricoles Dans ce contexte, vous observerez la persistance de la trame bocggère et l’extension des bosquets, qui prennent une valeur de refuge naturel.

The Boisbonnière district and Port Douillard have developed. The MHS factory which manufactures smart cards installs and maintains the bocage.

The residential neighborhoods are becoming denser and extending to the North and South of the new industrial zone. The highway splits the bocage.

The inhabited city and industrial activities are gradually replacing the agricultural landscapes. In this context, you will observe the persistence of the boggère network and the extension of the groves, which take on the value of a natural refuge.
