The commune of Les Avirons overlooks the ocean but does not lie on the coast.
The town spreads upwards. The higher the altitude, the better the harvest. The Tévelave, a mid-altitude plateau opens onto a vast “forêt des hauts” and the beautiful Routes des Tamarins. Ecotourism has developed in an impressive way. Les Avirons is rapidly growing. Many people who work in the South take up residence there. Les Avirons offers the advantage of having cooler weather than on the coastline without being too high.
