The French Basin Trail is a recreational walking trail that forms a 1.2 km loop around a constructed wetland on the edge of the French Basin. This small basin at the back of the town has been called the French Basin since the English capture of Port Royal in 1710. In the French period, a few scattered dwellings occupied the upland adjoining the large, dyked marshes on this side of the town, known as marais de Pellerin (Pellerin Marsh) and marais de Landris (Landry Marsh). In 1636, among the colonists and contract labourers brought to Port Royal aboard the ship Saint-Jehan were five saulniers, or salt-marsh workers. Hired to make the salt marshes suitable for agriculture and make salt-pans to provide salt for the fishery, they would built the first dykes in Acadia.
