Take a walk in the Domaine de Saint-Brice

Between Ares and Andernos les Bains, Saint-Brice is a secret that we like to share. As a couple or with the family, this preserved space is a little corner of paradise. Kingfishers, otters and egrets were not mistaken! Stroll at your own pace to appreciate the beautiful season and listen carefully: the song of the birds resounds in the branches. Blooming gorse and broom burst into small vivid touches as you pass. Discover all walks on Ares here.
