About Domaine de Certes et Graveyron
On the eastern shore of the Arcachon basin, at Audenge, the Domaine de Certes et Graveyron is a magnificent protected natural area of former fish and salt ponds, a haven for wildlife and a place of exceptional beauty. Once a great estate exploiting the tidal waters for fish-farming and salt, its vast expanse of dykes, reservoirs and reed beds beside the bay is now a nature reserve, criss-crossed by walking trails and alive with herons, egrets, storks and countless migratory birds. At its heart stands an old manor house recalling the estate's history. Peaceful, wild and rich in birdlife, the Domaine de Certes et Graveyron offers a wonderful escape into nature on the shores of the Arcachon basin, a superb spot for walking, birdwatching and enjoying the tranquil beauty of this unique coastal landscape.
