ARCINS

The Arcins marsh is classified as a natura 2000 zone and offers rich and diversified natural environments: salty and brackish vegetation resulting from the movements of the tides, wet meadows and afforestation of alder and ash trees. The site is conducive to the breeding of amphibians, dragonflies and birds. A trained eye will allow you to spot a few rare species: the marsh copper, the estuary angelica, the wild orchid or the charming otter and the European mink!

The Balades à Roulettes® (BR®) are short, quiet walks, with a stroller or a small bicycle, or adapted for people with reduced mobility (in a wheelchair), offered by the French Hiking Federation of the Gironde.
