Description of the walk

Park at the Porge Océan car park at the Gressier site.

(S/E) Go to the main entrance of Gressier Beach and enter. Follow it south to La Jenny, which can be identified by the stairs, the weather station and the two antennas at the top of the dune. There is a bench overlooking the beach, perfect for a picnic.

(1) Take the stairs to reach the fire track and follow it to the left. You will come to a crossroads near a car park.

(2) Continue straight ahead and you will reach another car park.

(3) Do not turn into it, but continue left on the cycle path to the Gressier site and the car park (S/E).

A lovely walk by the ocean.
Taken on 28/12/25 in good weather, there were a few walkers and surfers on the water.

At this time of year, there are very few people on the path. The weather was very pleasant, as was the route between the sea and the forest. Best done at low tide to enjoy the seaside.

There were two of us walking. The route was very quiet in beautiful weather, out of season, during the week: a very nice walk (ocean, then pine forest, forest track then cycle path).
Very simple route. You can do either the beach then the forest or vice versa, depending on the tides (the beach at low tide for an easier walk on hard sand and a larger beach). We did the beach first because it was low tide. The arrival point at La Jenny is easy to spot (thin weather antennas fixed to the lifeguard hut).
Easy return journey. The signposted car parks are actually quite close to the start of La Jenny.

This hike was undertaken by our group of 16 walkers, first on the beach itself (over 6-7km) and then in the forest, as suggested. We had checked that the tide would be low, which allowed us to enjoy firm, stable sand. Those who appreciate the immensity of ocean beaches, the spectacle of the waves and the caress of the sea spray were well served. There was no sign of any other humans except for a regular marine species rescuer who had just recovered a live sea turtle. The return journey was made sheltered from the wind along a forest track that is probably very busy in July and August. There was no difficulty in following the proposed route, as the description and map provided sufficient guidance. However, it was important to locate the antennas on the dune, marking the arrival at the village of La Jenny.

⚑Departure from Le Porge (Gironde)
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.

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).

⚑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.

⚑Departure from Gironde
A round trip along the gulf, starting from an oyster farming village, followed by a short circular route in Andernos to enjoy a pretty wood and a small river. On the way back, to extend the hike, I suggest a round trip through the salt marshes.The Visorando app is highly recommended in the woods of Andernos.

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.

Walking Circular in the Lacanau National Forest

Visorando Member
↔20.46 km ↗+86 m ↘-83 m ◔6h 05 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Lacanau (Gironde)
Most of the route consists of forest paths with a few sections on the road and cycle path. The hard surfaces are welcome as walking in the sand is tiring. You can enjoy views of the Étang du Cousseau and the Marais de Talaris with its flora and fauna. Le Moutchic and its calm waters, sailing boats, picnic spots and swimming areas. Finally, the ocean, with its rough waters that are perfect for surfers.

An unmissable walk for nature-loving locals. The Étang de Cousseau Nature Reserve is a haven of tranquillity accessible all year round and features three viewing points (including two towers) from which to enjoy the landscape, wildlife and flora.
