10 km hike between Sainte-Hélène and the Ria d'Étel.

The Ria d'Étel is always changing. At low tide, vast expanses of mudflats are interspersed with tiny or larger areas covered with all kinds of plants and birds. At high tide, it is the sea with its tiny or large islets. And inland, there is low-lying, sometimes marshy land with pine forests stretching to the coast, on sandy, sometimes rocky soil. And there is no shortage of colour. I have been there several times and the photos of the same place are never the same.

A 2-hour trip on the water, in a magnificent setting, on a stretch of sea that changes with the tide.
