Réserve naturelle nationale de Moëze-Oléron, National nature reserve in Charente-Maritime, France.
The reserve spans 6,720 hectares of maritime zones and wetlands, featuring vast mudflats that transform with tidal movements near the Charente River mouth.
The site's development began between 1830 and 1850 with the creation of polders, leading to its official designation as a protected area in 1985.
The Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux manages educational programs and guides visitors through the reserve's diverse ecosystems and bird observation points.
Visitors can access designated paths and observation points throughout the year, with guided tours available through the reserve's information center.
The reserve hosts 270 bird species and serves as one of France's five primary winter water bird sanctuaries, accommodating 90,000 migratory water birds.
