A lovely quiet place for a change of pace. Easy to walk footpaths and a chance to see a range of wild birds as nature intended. A couple of advisories: It’s a long walk to the best views - 4hrs to see the whole place (and stop to watch the birds). Younger children might not make the distance! If you are susceptible to insect bite, wear long sleeves and trousers - I was eaten alive! Take a drink and a snack. There are toilets on the way round but you’re on your own for refreshments. Well worth a visit.

A relaxing 7km walk through a purpose built bird attracting wetland. Many species can be seen here from well designed bird hides, containing informative description panels. If you don’t have your own binoculars you can hire them from the office as you enter. The walk took me 3 hours.

Very pleasant and well taken care of bird sanctuary. Easy walk on clearly marked paths and with many hideouts to observe wildlife at your own pace. Ideal for photographers with telephoto lens to shoot the wildlife around you or wide lenses to capture the captivating landscape.

Reviews posted by Oystein F (Gardonne, France) on 26/02/2021

Watching birds out of season can be a difficult task but we chose to visit Reserve Ornithologique du Teich at the end of February, mainly because the site is really worth a visit even before the...
