Forêt de Suzac, Protected coastal forest in Meschers-sur-Gironde, France.

Forêt de Suzac is a 350-hectare forest on a peninsula of limestone cliffs above the Gironde estuary and the Atlantic. Maritime pines with slender reddish-brown trunks and holm oaks grow on the slope, with arbutus, sage-leaved cistus and downy oaks beneath. It straddles Saint-Georges-de-Didonne and Meschers-sur-Gironde and includes the Parc de l'estuaire.

The site underwent significant changes during the 1960s when tourism expanded in the region. Official protection status was established in 1982 to preserve the landscape and its ecosystems.

The forest takes its name from the Pointe de Suzac, the cape between Saint-Georges-de-Didonne and Meschers-sur-Gironde. Since 2000 the Parc de l'estuaire, a nature centre of the Département de la Charente-Maritime, has presented the Gironde estuary ecosystem. Walkers also pass the partly restored Fort de Suzac, built during the German occupation of the Atlantic coast.

The forest offers multiple entry points with clearly marked paths that vary in length and terrain. Wear sturdy footwear as some sections include steep grades and uneven ground requires careful footing.

The forest's plant life is Mediterranean in character: maritime pine and holm oak dominate, alongside strawberry trees, sage-leaved rockrose and downy oaks. On the cliff edge, a limestone grassland blooms in June with pink garlic and maritime iris, and the protected dune carnation also grows on the site.
