The estuary of the Gironde

The discovery of the Verdon starts most often with the Pointe de Grave which offers a view on the mouth of the largest estuary in Europe. This is a unique place where the ocean and the waters of the Gironde meet and mingle in an immense space facing the Charente coast.

The attentive visitor soon discovers that the Verdon is also home to other treasures: vast beaches on the Atlantic coast and on the Gironde Estuary, forests and marshes, bicycle paths and hiking trails, all of which are places to rest, stroll or go on intrepid adventures.
