From the bridge (Trounques means trunks) you have a view of the banks of the Courant de Mimizan. In winter, at night, fishermen use the pontoons called "piteys" to capture elvers (eel fry or piballes). The reeds invade the islets and the baccharis or false cotton proliferates. After the bridge, the larches, conifers which lose their needles are magnificent in autumn.
