What to expect

The Réserve naturelle nationale de la baie de l'Aiguillon is a protected area located on the Atlantic coast, at the mouth of the Sèvre niortaise river. It covers an area of approximately 4,900 hectares and is known for its importance as a site for migratory and wintering birds. The reserve is characterized by its vast vasière, a type of mudflat, and its prés salés, which are salt meadows. The area is also home to a variety of plant and animal species, including mollusks, birds, and fish. The reserve is managed by the Office français de la biodiversité and the Ligue pour la protection des oiseaux, and offers opportunities for observation and discovery of the natural environment

THE OYE PLATIER

THE OYE PLATIER
This family's experience:

Activities: We went for a family walk in this 400-hectare natural reserve. We enjoyed observing the animals and flora, using the observatories. We were able to access the site with a stroller and there are wooden slabs along the path and platforms for wheelchairs. We also enjoyed the many shaded rest areas for a break or a snack

Highlights: Our 22-month-old loved it! She could walk safely and climb to observe the ducks and other birds and cattle that posed for us! "Everyone will enjoy observing this universe in the small cabins that children love so much and strolling through the park's flora." ✨
