Fancy some fresh air, rejuvenating walks and breathtaking scenery? Welcome to the Parc naturel régional Médoc, a jewel nestled in the heart of the Gironde, where nature is fully experienced. Between ocean beaches, pine forests, prestigious vineyards and unspoilt wetlands, the Médoc reveals an exceptional natural and cultural diversity, to be discovered as the seasons go by.

A region committed to the future

Created in 2019, the Parc naturel régional Médoc is part of the large family of regional nature parks in France. It covers 51 communes spread between the estuary and the ocean, grouped within 4 communities of communes. Its mission? To protect, enhance and sustainably promote this unique territory.

A Regional Nature Park is not simply a reserve: it is a collective project for the territory, driven by its inhabitants, elected representatives and partners. The aim: to reconcile landscape preservation and local economic development.

The Parc naturel régional Médoc acts around 5 major missions:

  • Preserving natural, cultural and landscape heritage
  • Accompanying balanced regional development
  • Supporting sustainable economic and social dynamics
  • Increasing awareness and informing all publics
  • Experimenting and innovating for the future
