Come and join me at the "Domaine du Sillon côtier". Nicolas, winegrower, will take us on a tour of his family's oldest land (plan to take the vehicles for a 2km round trip). As a passionate person, he will explain the family history of his land, its geographical interest and the wines that are grown there. We will enjoy a glass of wine next to his vines. Or for those who prefer and for the children, a glass of his "Retz'in" juice! I will then take you on a 1h30 walk along the coast. The return journey will be on the land side with horses in our path, birds and salt marshes. Varied landscapes where one does not get tired of walking. For those who wish, on the way back, we can stop at an oyster farmer's so that you can plan your evening meal.
