Domaine de Certes, Protected coastal estate in Audenge, France
The Domaine de Certes extends over 396 hectares, featuring water basins, wetlands, agricultural lands, and mixed woodlands along the Arcachon Basin.
The estate was established in the 18th century by the Marquis de Civrac for salt production, requiring the movement of two million tons of earth.
Ernest Valeton de Boissière transformed the estate in 1843 and established the first mixed-gender school in France at the Audenge college.
The domain offers free access through the coastal trail, with naturalist guided tours available during summer months at the Poulinière building.
The estate houses 336 plant species, 253 bird species, and serves as a wildlife rehabilitation center for injured birds.
