You are here on the eastern shore of the lake of Carcans-Hourtin, the largest natural lake in France with 6000 ha.
If the ocean roars nearby, the wild aspect is well on the other side of the dunes. The diversity of environments (lake, marshes, dunes, forest...) contributes to the richness of this site, in particular the flora and insects, the profusion of which will amaze budding or professional entomologists.
This Sensitive Natural Area is the property of the Conseil Départemental de la Gironde, the Conservatoire du Littoral and the commune of Hourtin. "
