Le Teich bird reserve, Bay of Arcachon
The Bay of Arcachon might more accurately be described as a large coastal lagoon, some 18 km across, with swampy margins. For the visitor, Le Teich is probably the most productive for birds of several reserves in the bay. Curiously, precisely the same spelling of the name in German means pond, which seems appropriate as Le Teich consists of a large number of brackish ponds. There is a variety of other habitats, from saltmarsh to hay meadows.
