La Maison de la Baie

A little further away, 30 km from the famous monument, the "Maison de la Baie" highlights the exceptional ecosystem that surrounds it. Inside, an exhibition on the natural and human heritage of the region provides a first introduction to the subject. You can complete your visit with a guided walk on the polders to discover these immense spaces, shaped by the winds and tides. Different themes are proposed - the salt meadows, the quicksand, the Hermelles reef or the birdlife. Book your tour - from 4 to 6 hours - taking into account your physical condition and the weather. The "Maison de la Baie" is also a gourmet address which organises discovery trips to the oyster beds and to the heart of bouchot mussel production, on board a tractor with a fitted trailer which children love!
