My two friends and I were very touched. Although I had gone to the wrong meeting place, he came to get us at the dock where we were. On the way back, he let all three of us disembark at the spot where we had mistakenly waited initially, instead of the designated spot. We are very grateful to him.

Very warm welcome from Thierry who shared with us his passion for the region and especially the Arcachon basin. He explained many things to us perfectly during the trip, about each environment. He is inexhaustible on the questions that we could ask him. This outing limited to twelve people is a privilege which allowed us to have a panoramic view of the basin without being bothered (a private outing). Thank you for having made us discover the basin from the inside.

Beautiful tour, with a stop at the oystercatchers. You simply get a different perspective.
