Cited in 989, St-Georges-de-Rex is one of the oldest market gardening villages. Located in the plain, it dominates a small marsh and develops between a priory and a castle. Its restored port and wash houses provide a continuous link with the nearby marsh. Far from tourist flows, the St-Georges-de-Rex marsh is one of the most authentic, between islets of ash trees and wet meadows and remains one of the great flora and fauna sanctuaries of Green Venice.
