PIRAILLAN
Read moreThe 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.

COASTLINE PATH
Read moreThe heart of the Arcachon basin is one of the most interesting natural areas in France thanks to the richness of its flora and fauna: herons, crested, cormorants, swans, various species of ducks, otters and ragondins. There are also attractions in its landscapes: marshy shores of the delta of the Leyre, ancient salt marshes transformed in the th century into fish tanks, built dikes. It is for us to discover all these treasures that 13 kilometres of trails were built in 1985: It is the coastal trail that leaves from the Port of Cassy to Lanton to the Domaine de Certainly in Audenge. It borders the tanks of the Renet, the beach of Suzette, the fish tanks, the Conche de Lanton for finally arriving at Domaine de True - see Audenge. The Sportifs can continue to the port of Audenge on 3,5 km, still on the coastal trail, the domaine de Graveyron. At every point of access to the circuit, pedestrians have parking lots and are informed by signs and guidance tags. A very nice nature walk.
