In a unique setting in Saint-Georges-de-Didonne, its site house, the Parc de l'Estuaire, faces the mouth of the Gironde estuary. Perched on a cliff and nestling in the Suzac coastal forest, this sensitive, protected natural area offers an original, fun and educational way to discover nature.

. Café with panoramic terrace overlooking the estuary, the Cordouan lighthouse and the Côte de Beauté.
. Activities on the theme of the coast, the forest, bees, etc. offered all year round (not included in your La Rochelle Océan Pass).
