A sensitive natural area

Developed and classified in 1995 by the General Council of Tarn-et-Garonne, the island of Beaucaire is part of the Sensitive Natural Areas (E.N.S.). It covers 1.5 hectares of land and 0.5 hectares of water. This recognition highlights the ecological and landscape value of the site, which is subject to conservation and management measures and controlled public access.

Located on the outskirts of Moissac, the island plays an important role in the ecological balance of the Tarn. Although it was developed by humans, it has become a place for discovering the local natural heritage, representative of riverside landscapes.

The development project, carried out in association with the Île de Beaucaire association, began in 1995. It aimed to improve natural habitats, preserve biodiversity, and welcome the public. Today, an interpretive trail, marked with thematic panels, allows visitors to explore the island and appreciate its flora and fauna.
