Attractions
- The ornithological park of Le Teich has existed for more than 30 years. It offers excellent conditions for visitors and wild animals to meet. The park serves as a resting place for many migratory birds on their migration. The numerous storks in particular always attract many visitors.
- The mouth delta of the River Eyre is formed by two main and several side arms. It can be visited on a five-kilometer-long riverside path, which allows you to gain insight into the biological richness of the delta.
- The source of St. John (French: Saint-Jean) is located on the former Way of St. James and dates from the 17th century. The place used to be a cult site, which is probably of Celtic origin. The spring became a stop for pilgrims, and the water was valued for treating skin diseases.
