caption_attribution_description: Français&#160;: Photographie prise dans la forêt de la Coubre, une forêt domaniale couvrant plus de 4 277 hectares en bordure du littoral de la presqu'île d'Arvert, en Charente-Maritime, sur les communes des Mathes et de La Tremblade. C'est une forêt de pins maritimes, de chênes verts, de chênes pédonculé et d'arbousiers qui a été plantée au début du XIXe siècle pour contenir l'avancée des sables et protéger le site des érosions éolienne et marine très actives. Classée forêt littorale de protection, elle abrite une faune variée comportant notamment des cerfs élaphes, des chevreuils et des sangliers.
