Lighthouse at Jau-Dignac-et-Loirac, accessible by land and sea at high tide, offering a panoramic view of the estuary

At the edge of the Dutch polders (the mattes) built in the 17th century, a tree guided the navigation on the Gironde estuary, the largest in Europe: Richard's Tree. At the beginning of the 19th century, this tree was cut down by a storm and replaced in 1843 by an 18 meters lighthouse. Managed by an association, the lighthouse of Richard offers a 360° panoramic view on the estuary. Its museum describes the life of the estuary and local navigation from the 19th century to the present day. The site is accessible by land and sea at high tide.

Interressant, quel travail des hommes pour faire cette digue...

Superbe vue sur la Gironde

Sehr beschauliches Fleckchen zum Verweilen an der Küste des Etang. Schöne saubere Picknick-Wiese mit Holztischen und Bänken unter Maulbeerbäumen, die derzeit (Ende Mai) leckere Früchte tragen. Nur die völlig überteuerte Fastfood Bude gehört so gar nicht an diesen Ort.

Belle découverte au bord de la Gironde, espace disponible pour déjeuner même a l'abri.
