Hiking

Located on the tip of Illemont, it is an ingenious way to observe the birds of the Nature Reserve without being seen. On the right, the Grève de Saint-Guimond and its network, with its ducks and barnacle geese. Just opposite, on the other bank of the Bay, the site of La Cage (commune of Langueux) is one of the main sites for wading birds: sandpipers, oystercatchers and curlews in particular. On the left, the Fontreven grasslands form a refuge area for little egrets, brant geese and many other birds.
