Dates
On 28 July 2026
In 3 days

Board a boat to reach Ile Nouvelle in the middle of the Gironde estuary.

A nature guide will be on hand to show you around.

Île Nouvelle is a natural area of almost 300 hectares, currently being restored to a high level of biodiversity (fauna, flora, natural environments).

The island is a major site for birds. Nearly 190 species were counted in 2018.

Between nature and culture, Île Nouvelle is also rich in history: until 1973, the island was inhabited, the inhabitants were called "îlouts" and vines were grown. The old village has been restored to reveal this singular history.

Bring a picnic lunch, water, binoculars and suitable clothing. Booking essential. Minimum age 10.
