Greater Dax has 57,424 inhabitants, 20 municipalities, a free shuttle service, 15 thermal baths, an intercommunal aquatic center (Aquae), and events such as the Rando gourmande to highlight local agricultural producers and the area's culinary heritage. There are also bicycle (and pedestrian) paths to encourage soft mobility. Many greenways like the one in Tercis should be created in the coming years.

Mont-de-Marsan, or Moun in Gascon, is the capital and prefecture of the Landes since 1790. The keys on its coat of arms could be those of Saint-Pierre, patron saint of the parish on which the city was built, or those of Pierre de Lobanner, the city's founder. They could also refer to the two rivers, the Douze and the Midou - which come together to form the Midouze. Keep up to date with the news of Mont-de-Marsan and its agglomeration thanks to the quarterly magazine m2m.ag. It is distributed in the mailboxes or by e-mail.

The Dax Town Hall is accessible from the rue Saint-Pierre, but also from the gardens where citizens' gatherings and events take place throughout the year. The Max Moras square is home to the war memorial and sculptures by Monette Loza. The town has been twinned with Logroño, in Spain, since 1963.
