The Landes is a beautiful destination to enjoy peace and nature. Less than 20 kilometers from the Arcachon Basin, in a peaceful setting at the heart of the Landes forest, lies the Cazaux and Sanguinet Lake. This body of water is particularly renowned for its western shores being quite close to the ocean.

Far from the daily hustle and bustle, this little piece of paradise offers a pleasant and relaxing setting. Those who enjoy walking will be delighted: it is possible to walk around the lake and follow paths through the woods alongside a stream.

This former gravel pit turned leisure area is a popular spot for families and walkers alike, thanks to its picturesque setting and tranquility. Its calm waters are home to many ducks and sometimes even swans.

Lake Biscarosse - Latécoère

With its sun-drenched paths and shaded trails of tall pines, as well as its vast expanse of water for boating, Lake Biscarrosse offers a privileged environment for relaxation. After some fishing, a swim in fresh water, or a bike ride, you can visit the seaplane museum. Indeed, Lake Biscarrosse has marked the history of airmail...
