A commented walk to discover this ancient island of the Rhone, called «Prentegarde» formerly, and now «Printegarde» by the grace of its classification as a Natura 2000 site (2005): we see and hear many birds, we admire and appreciate the sweetness and harmony of its landscape of water, reeds, forests, animated by the flight of many dragonflies, ducks or egrets; and that’s not all: we will add that, perhaps, during the walk, you could spot traces of the beaver guided by specialists who will tell you about this discreet but endearing animal. It is also an opportunity to discover the operation of the developments carried out by the CNR as part of the construction of the Baix-Logis-Neuf dam, for the hydroelectric production and the life of the residents installed there for a long time, on these lands rich in alluvium of the Rhone but living in fear of the occurrence of the next flood that will submerge land, crops and dwellings.

About the location

Île de Printegarde (Prentegarde)
Livron-sur-Drôme (confluence entre le Rhône et la Drôme)
  • Drôme
  • Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
"PRENTEGARDE" was the name of an island of the Rhone (between La Voulte and Livron), coming from a recommendation made to the boatmen sailing in this place: "Take care ", because navigation there was dangerous. Thus "Printegarde" is the contemporary distortion of the old denomination. Classified as a Natura 2000 site since 2005, the confluence has a great ecological value thanks to the diversity of habitats it offers: reed beds, marshes, riparian. It is a remarkable site for the conservation of wild birds, breeding species (aquatic warblers, rudders and dwarf bitterns), wintering (cormorants) or migrating (storks, black kite, some ducks). We also find the development of the river by the CNR to produce electricity (in the years 1960/70); this is how the Printegarde Special Protection Zone (ZPS) runs along and/ or includes the dams of the dam of Baix-Logis-Neuf, about 15 km.
