Contaut Lagoon

Highlight • Lake

Nestled between lakes and ocean in the Hourtin nature reserve, the Contaut lagoon is an exceptional natural site. A wooden footbridge facilitates its crossing in a remarkable green setting.

Lagune de Contaut Boardwalk

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful marsh with hanging birches (reminds a bit of a primeval forest) // free boardwalk around the lake (very good for photography) // if you're lucky you can see red dragonflies, kingfishers, herons, Eiropean sea turtles, ...

Definitely a stop value! 👌👍😁

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Nice little gimmick, probably put up by the forestry administration.
I would have preferred a better surface.
