Balade à roulettes : Les prés salés ouest

It is an unusual place in the Bay of Arcachon. The salt meadows also called "schorre" represent a natural park with a rich biodiversity. The landscape changes with the rhythm of the tides. We can observe birds, ducks... A tip, bring your binoculars!

They constitute the high fringe of the shoreline, covered by the sea during the high tides. There is a short vegetation, which "likes salt". They play a very important role, hence the interest in preserving them

A sandy beach borders the site to the north and a long-distance footpath runs along the dike.

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