Straddling the Landes and Gironde départements, the Landes de Gascogne Regional Nature Park covers 3,150 km², or 30 times the size of Paris. Whether you're looking for a sporting, artistic or cultural itinerary, here are five ideas for micro-adventures to explore this vast area of unspoilt woodland.
The kilometre-long Sablères beach at Vieux-Boucau is one of the most beautiful beaches on the Landes coast. One large dune to cross, and the change of scenery is immediate.
This is the most northerly beach in Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains, following on from the Plage Sud in Messanges. Slightly away from the town centre, this is the wildest beach in the Landes resort. To get there, you have to cross a corridor of dunes, some up to eight metres high.
Many night markets are organised in the Landes. The one in Vieux-Boucau attracts the crowds. Every Monday evening, an attractive night market takes place on the Grande Plage. On Wednesday evenings, it's the same again, with an arts and crafts market along the marine lake.
All summer long, the Landes races thrill the crowds in the arenas of Vieux-Boucau, in the Landes region. It's a unique cultural and festive spectacle, to be experienced at least once in your life. We tell you all about it!
Heir to the traditional bullfighting games practised since the Middle Ages, the course landaise is still the central event of village festivals today. It is both a sport and a spectacle that appeals to the whole family.
On the Landes coastline, Messanges, a little pearl on the Côte d'Argent, has become a must-see destination for beach and bathing enthusiasts over the years. But what makes this beach so special to holidaymakers?
Located in the communes of Soustons and Azur, in the heart of the Landes forest and only five kilometres from the sea as the crow flies, Lake Soustons is entirely devoted to pleasure boating and water sports. If the lake is forbidden to swim, there are a thousand and one ways to enjoy this exceptional site classified Natura 2000.
