Landes tourist information
where to go - what to see - what to do
Two main features distinguish the Landes. The long stretch of coast and shifting sand dunes, and the vast pine forests planted to stabilise the sand dunes.
It is from these two features that the Landes derives its wealth - tourism, to the coastal resorts in the summer months, and sales of pinewood and its derivatives.
Renowned for its hot springs & thermal spas, Dax has been a popular centre, with hot mud serving to soothe ailments, since Roman times.
Coastal resorts such as Hossegor and Capbreton are noteworthy, with surf enthusiasts travelling from all over Europe to catch the Atlantic waves. Inland, boat trips and fishing are available.
- Aqua health at St Paul-les-Dax - relax in one of the mineral pools at the aqua centre of Calicea. If not, it's choice of geysers, saunas, jacuzzis, waterfalls and solariums will tempt you.
- Bullfighting - Mont-de-Marsan still attracts hoards of visitors in the summer who come for the bullfighting and celebrated 'course landaise'.
- Armagnac Lovers - Arthez D'Armagnac is the place to be for guided visits around the 20 hectares of land still producing one of the region's finest delights.
- Marqueze & Luxey - The Ecomusee de la Grande Lande is in Marqueze and recreates village life of the Landes before the draining of the marshes. Nearby Luxey shows resin tapping and distillation.
