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 Île Nouvelle and Île Patiras on excursions organized by Compagnie des 2 rives or Coeur d'estuaire . You can even charter a boat for a cruise with your friends or family.
