Details
Our boat trip to the Étel river will take you straight to the middle of postcard landscapes! We will start from the village of Étel, where we will first pass under the Lorois bridge and head north, to reach this huge 22 km² inland sea. During this 45-minute tour, you will be impressed by the richness of the fauna and flora of the banks of this Natura 2000 site. If we are lucky, we might see some European otters or nightjars!
Throughout the trip, our crew will share with you anecdotes about the sites visited. On the way, we will see a multitude of islets, each one more beautiful than the next! We will pass in front of the island of Saint-Cado, an emblematic place of the Ria d'Étel, thanks to the presence of a small isolated house in the middle of the islet of Nichtarguer. This house was previously inhabited by an oyster farm keeper and his family, and for this reason is now called the "oyster house". We will turn around the islet so that you can see it from all angles. At the end of the walk, we will return to Étel, where you can continue the visit of the village. Highlights
- Spacious and comfortable boat
- View of the emblematic "oyster house"
- Discovery of the local fauna and flora
- Audio guide in several languages Departure & Return
We meet at the pier at Place des Thoniers around 20 minutes before departure time. If you arrive by car, there are free car parks nearby. Once the trip is over, we will return to Étel.
