Here is the National Nature Reserve of Etang de Cousseau. This space owes its name to the pond "Cousseau", classified as a National Nature Reserve and located between Carcans-Hourtin to the north and Lacanau to the south. This site of 600 hectares reveals an extraordinary flora and fauna.
You will pass through the Maritime Pine Forest, green oaks, marshes, and wooded dunes. Depending on the season, some animals or insects may show up. The star of the show is the European Otter. Very discreet, it can be found in the protected reserve of Cousseau. Not to mention the 200 species of birds and 39 species of dragonflies. It's the perfect place for a lovely family hike in the heart of nature. Otherwise, guided tours are organized by the Sepanso guides.
