Nature destination

Some nature reserves and wetlands can only be explored with guides in order to preserve their rich fauna and flora. They are true havens of peace and serenity, where the birdsong is all you can hear. Armed with binoculars or a camera, you can catch a rare moment. If you're keen to find out about the marine environment and discover its flora and fauna, you have various options: diving is available from age 5 upwards, a trip in an eco-friendly catamaran or out at sea, an underwater trail... For those who are passionate about the forest, you can enjoy the tree-top trails at a height of 1m to 15 m at 3 different sites.
