BIRD ISLAND
A charming island in La Teste-de-Buch, a good address for birdwatchers, one of the must-see sites in the region.
Ile aux Oiseaux is one of the region's must-see sites. This enchantingly-named strip of land stands in the center of the basin. It is subject to the rhythm of the tides and can, at times, be 16 km in circumference or just 5 km. It owes its name to the 150 species of birds that live there or pass through on their migration. Just as famous as the birds are the cabanes tchanquées (the most famous of the cabins), which stand on stilts. They're brimming with history and anecdotes. Perhaps you'll find some chatty locals who'll tell you...
