Saucats-La Brède Geological Nature Reserve

Français

Three minutes from the Château de la Brède, come and discover the history of our region 20 million years ago, when Aquitaine was covered by the sea in a tropical climate...
The Saucats-La Brède Geological Nature Reserve opens its paths for free walks, The ideal is to go to the Maison de la Réserve (free entrance to the museum) where a location map will be given to you, or on a guided tour of a duration of approximately two hours.
This begins with the museum's collections (shark teeth, corals, tropical shells) and continues in the form of a short walk in the forest by a river where you can admire, among other things, thousands of open pit fossils.
We also offer workshops for children (from 7 years old) accompanied by adults with different themes ranging from the discovery of fossils to small animals.
