Description

From the port of Arcins, visitors enjoy views of the Gironde Estuary

This peaceful place is perfect for daydreaming: here, charming fishing huts are part of the scenery, stretching their long legs into the estuary waters, their vast nets waiting patiently for the next high tide, and the chance to catch lamprey, prawns, or eels depending on the time of year).Visitors enjoy splendid views of the Gironde and its isles, as the river flows peacefully by: the île verte, just opposite Arcins, is the estuary's largest, harbouring a nature reserve.
While away the hours as the sun's rays reflect against the estuary's glistening waves, trying to catch a glimpse of the birds that nest on the île verte.It is also the perfect starting point for those wishing to discover the estuary's marshland: 7 miles of footpaths are waiting to be explored.
