A river and islands

The Gironde Estuary has around ten islands formed mostly between the 17th and 19th centuries. These small pieces of land in the middle of the water also allowed men to find refuge for years. Come and discover these islands with their exceptional landscapes, their fauna, their flora and their history…

Today you can discover New Island and Patiras Island during excursions organized by the Company of the 2 shores or Heart of estuary. You can even privatize a boat for a cruise with your friends or family.
