The Certes and Graveyron estates in Audenge (33) are a group of former salt marshes, once used as fish ponds, nestled in the Arcachon basin. Now a nature reserve, it is a unique place to observe nature and especially birds. The short loop trail allows you to explore these places at your leisure.

Departure from Audenge (Gironde)
The third stage of this tour of the Arcachon Basin leads from Audenge to Biganos station. The option chosen is to travel by train from Biganos to Arcachon because crossing the marshes is not possible during the chosen season (December).The route is entirely on roads, with a pleasant stretch through a forest of various deciduous trees. Biganos is a larger town than the villages we passed through earlier and has no particular charm except for its harbour.

Departure from Audenge (Gironde)
This is a walk in the salty air of the Arcachon basin, where land and water intermingle and enrich each other, in a vast area made up of former fish ponds and salt marshes. We did it in 2013, on a beautiful cold and sunny day in December, but don't hesitate to come back in all weathers and all seasons, because the face of these places is endlessly changing.

Arcachon - Cap Ferret by bike is a very pleasant way to get an overview of this magnificent lagoon opening onto the ocean.
You will pass through numerous coastal towns, seaports and oyster farms, a bird sanctuary and the Lège and Garonne national forest.
The return trip by boat at the end of the day is a little gem in itself.

The second stage of the tour of the Arcachon Basin is very varied: crossing villages, walking along wild shores, arriving at the Domaine de Certes and Graveyron, where other hikes can be done, and the pleasant town of Audenge. If you only do one stage, this is the one to choose.

Departure from Lège-Cap-Ferret (Gironde)
This is a short, flat walk along the Canal des Étangs, between the D106E5 bridge and the Pas du Bouc bridge. On this section, the canal takes on the appearance and flow of a small river full of charm and wildness, a sort of miniature Amazon with orange-coloured waters. North of Pas du Bouc, it is still a canal, while south of the D106E5, it takes the name Courant de Lège and prepares to flow into the salt meadows of the Bassin d'Arcachon.

Randonnée le long du Canal des Étangs qui dans cette partie ressemble à une petite rivière plutôt qu'à un canal.
Balade effectuée en janvier avec un niveau d'eau très élevé, en été l'eau très basse laisse apparaitre des berges sableuses et des formations d'alios (mélange de grès et de fer).

Walk along an old concrete track, 50 cm wide but clear, leading to the Étang de Langouarde and the Canal des Étangs. On the return journey, there are several options depending on the water level in the canal to reach the car park, as a marshy area has formed following the construction of the new lock.
