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