Take a trip back in time to the ancient fortified town of Prigny and wander through the narrow streets surrounded by small stone houses. Thanks to its strategic position, the town was an "oppidum" during the Roman conquest. It was used to watch over the Roman roads, both on land and at sea.
A bucolic getaway between vineyards and marshes
Discover a landscape that changes with the seasons
Vineyards: Immerse yourself in a world of lush green vines. Stroll along the narrow lanes and try to recognise the grape varieties that give rise to the local wines. The ever-changing vineyard landscape offers a different spectacle every season.
Marshes: The Lyarne marshes stretch as far as the eye can see. Breathe in the iodised air, laden with sea spray, and let yourself be enchanted by the wilderness. If you're lucky, you'll be able to spot a multitude of migratory birds.
Exceptional panorama: Armed with your binoculars, admire the unique panorama before you: the marshes, the sea on the horizon... A breathtaking spectacle that will leave you speechless.
A journey through time
Prigny: Push open the doors of the Chapelle de Prigny and relive a page of history.
Architectural treasures: Visit Saint-Pierre church and admire its magnificent 17th-century listed altarpiece. You can also admire the Lanterne des morts, a building unique in France, which bears witness to the town's past.
