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.

Col du Château d'eau

Nice little gimmick, probably put up by the forestry administration.
