"Discover the "green" family trail of the Hourtin Dunes and Marshes Reserve, accessible to all because of its lack of difficulty, ideal for cool picnics.
Ideal for summer visits sheltered from the heat, the 1 km path of the Contaut lagoon offers you its coolness and is suitable for your family escapades.
Even your little ones will discover an explorer's soul by coming to meet the lagoon and the animals that come to take refuge there.
The easy-to-access path over the marsh by a wooden footbridge, perfectly integrated into the landscape, allows you to meet the flora and fauna of the lagoon. Surrounded by royal ferns, these giant ferns give your children the impression of being plunged into the time of the dinosaurs. Surrounded by willows and phragmites, dragonflies, turtles and herons appear at the turn of the path.
At the end of the path, young and old alike can hide behind the wooden fence to observe the birds that were hidden during the visit, but which are now visible on the opposite bank thanks to the telescope. Your visit can end with a picnic on the tables provided for this purpose, offering you the coolness of the lagoon in summer. Access to the lagoon is easy, as it is located right next to the road leading to Hourtin plage, route de Contaut.
The exploratory spirit of your little ones is awake, let's go!
