Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Aquitaine

The shoreline of the basin has been built for discovery. The heart of the Arcachon basin is a very interesting natural area with its landscapes, flora and fauna. The aménagées are the refuge of herons, crested, cormorants, swans, various species of ducks, otters and ragondins. Ostréicoles ports of La Testing and Gujan-Mestras, the swamp of the delta of the Leyre delta and the house of Nature, occupy the southern shore with the old salt marshes transformed in the th century into fish tanks. To the north, we meet the Domaine de bien, then Andernos and Ares, the natural reserve of the salted meadows leading to the peninsula of the Cap-Ferret, the village of L'Herb, to finish at the foot of its lighthouse.

The first characteristic of the village of Piraillan is that it houses a magnificent natural reserve of 37 hectares, the tanks of Piraillan. Many animal species, including wild swans, genettes, water shrew, marsh ovenbirds, and even hawks and black black with impressive scale can be observed. The site has been protected since 1997, it is so well that rare species are settling there, such as moss, a grass end. Inscribed on the inventory of classified sites, the highly picturesque oyster port consists of a succession of multi-coloured huts, some of which are centuries old. In the middle of the port, two small artificial islands are dawns, created by oyster farmers, with the aim of storing the tiles necessary for oyster breeding. In 1845 a test Master from La Testing, named Bouzat, had a cabin on the coast and called it "it ralhan" bird talkative. From that could come the name of the village.

Bonaguil Castle organizes night visits to discover the castle in storytelling and music. An original way to learn its history and immerse itself with its contours under the spotlight. The visit begins outside to admire the imposing facade of the building from the edge of the wood, before continuing in the different parts. Think about reserving.
