Réserve naturelle nationale d'Arjuzanx, National nature reserve in Morcenx-la-Nouvelle and Rion-des-Landes, France.
The reserve spans 2,205 hectares of diverse landscapes including wetlands, forests, and natural grasslands across three municipalities in the Landes department.
The site received its first protective status as a National Hunting and Wildlife Reserve in 1987 before becoming a National Nature Reserve in September 2022.
The reserve functions as France's primary wintering location for common cranes, with populations reaching up to 30,000 birds during winter months.
Visitors can explore the reserve through walking paths, cycling routes, and horse trails, with online ticket booking available for guided tours.
The reserve integrates rehabilitated landscapes with natural habitats, creating specific conditions for oligotrophic aquatic environments within the Landes de Gascogne.
