From Mortagne-sur-Gironde to Vitrezay, the landscape is one of huge stretches of marshland boarded by hills overlooked by vineyards and farms. Small harbours offer excellent stop off points, combining coastal environment attractions with those of the river Gironde banks. Vitrezay offers a great opportunity to discover nature as a family and perhaps go for a little boat trip.
