A unique environment to preserve

To ensure that your bivouac has no negative impact on the environment, it is strongly recommended that you go through a tourism professional to enjoy this experience. They will show you suitable places to set up, so as not to disturb protected species such as terns, which are threatened by flooding, natural predators but also by the presence of man, which can destroy eggs and drive adult birds away.
