Why go dans les Landes?

Nestled between the Gironde and Basque regions, the Landes département is cradled by the waves of the Atlantic. Its wide beaches are a veritable paradise for swimmers and surfers, with seaside resorts such as Hossegor, Biscarosse and the family-friendly Mimizan. The department is also renowned for its vast pine forests and large lakes, such as Aureilhan. You'll appreciate the wealth of possibilities the Landes has to offer. Discover its charming villages, its monuments and its natural sites where you can recharge your batteries, such as the Arjuzanx National Nature Reserve.

The region's gastronomic heritage is not to be outdone, with an exceptional terroir - its Armagnac, which needs no introduction - and local producers waiting to share their specialities with you.
