As I'm quite new to birdwatching, I'm looking to visit French nature reserves but I'm having difficulty finding the French version of places such as Martin Mere and Leighton Moss (sites run by English organisations such as the RSPB and the WWT).
I've found one called 'Les Sept Iles' off the Brittany coast that you can observe on a boat tour but everything else I've found has been about walks you can do to view birds, rather than protected sites you can visit with different habitats, feeders, a cafe/shop etc.
I bought a book 'Where to watch birds: France', but it mostly details walks, the majority of which require a car (and I'm a non driver).
Does anyone have any recommendations, be they reserves or useful sites? It can be anywhere in France (being from Liverpool there are multiple destinations served by low-cost airlines), so all suggestions are welcome!
