The mooring buoy in front of the villa
With a frontline house on the Bay, stepping out to your boat right at your doorstep is a truly wonderful experience. A mooring buoy is available in front of the villa — if you rent a boat, we'll make it available for you. You can freely explore the Bay, visit the Banc d'Arguin, sail around the Île aux Oiseaux and its iconic Cabanes Tchanquées, or enjoy a leisurely ride on the water. Contact the owner Martin for more information.

Boats book up ahead of time, especially in summer. Moor yours right in front of the villa using the mooring buoy we provide.
