Between the mouth of the Gironde estuary and the Atlantic coast, a seaside and wild atmosphere emerges combining the smell of pines, fine sandy beaches, small coves and the feeling of being at the end of the world.

Seudre estuary

Between clears and channels, the oyster marsh of the Seudre estuary is like a labyrinth with a thousand entrances and exits. Through a play of water mirrors, the light comes as much from the earth as from the sky.

Estuary of the Gironde

The cliffs and hillsides of the Gironde dominate the estuary. Here, there is no straight line, everything is curved and rounded. The colors change according to the vines and the marshes.

Between two estuaries

Composed of fields and vineyards, crossed by fresh water courses, the between-two estuaries is a land of steeples where time seems to have stood still.
