L'Ile Nouvelle

33390 Blaye

Formed by the merging of two islands (Bouchaud and Sans Pain), Ile Nouvelle, which is owned by the Conservatoire du Littoral, stretches 6 km in length in the heart of the estuary, opposite Blaye. Since its formation in the early 19th century, its history has been full of twists and turns: it was once a shifting sandbank before being stabilised by dykes, used for wine-growing and agriculture, inhabited and finally abandoned. Ile Nouvelle is now open to the public: enjoy a nature walk with interpretative panels about the wetland, and a cultural and historical tour through the old village. Suitable for visitors aged 10 and over.
