Walk in Terres d'Oiseaux

Walks, Nature . Walks. Nature

With the return of sunny days, here is a great idea for a walk near Bordeaux: the ornithological park of Land of Birds.

Located in the north of the Gironde, Terres d'Oiseaux is easily accessible from the A10 motorway: a welcome stopover on the holiday route! You can bring your picnic and enjoy a breathtaking view of the Gironde Estuary.

Your visit will allow you to observe many wild, migratory and sedentary birds. Whether they are large waders, sparrows or nesting birds, they find refuge, rest and food in this natural space of 116 ha.

A first 360° overview of the site is possible by climbing the panoramic tower (accessible free of charge from the car park). Once through the gates of the park, the team of thethe Tourist Office will give you all the explanations you need to choose one of the four routes: "small steps" (30 mins) designed for families with young children or people with reduced mobility, "first feather" (1h30), "discovery" (2h15) or “Exploration” (3h30).

Terres d'Oiseaux

Depending on the season, 117 species of birds can be observed during your walk: think about your binoculars! To orient yourself and inform you, you will meet on specific sites and at times indicated at the entrance, naturalist guides ready to answer your questions and reveal the secrets of the birds. You can also be accompanied during any visit by booking in advance.

A little hollow at the end of the course? The Tourist Office offers you a tea room in the Metairie, where you will also find many gift ideas and souvenirs with a range of items related to the environment and local crafts. A little extra advice to extend your walk: set off to discover the charming port of the Cextensions in the immediate vicinity.
