The Gironde estuary

Here, water shapes the landscape, sets the pace for local life and inspires the eye. Whether you’re strolling along a pontoon, watching the tidal bore or exploring the mysterious islands, the estuary promises an experience that’s both soothing and surprising. It’s a place where nature meets heritage, tradition meets freedom.
