Landes: what to see and do
20 sites listed in the département. The largest planted forest in Europe, the Landes offer a unique identity between endless pine forest, the nearby Dune du Pilat and Atlantic beaches loved by surfers, such as Hossegor. This South-West département cultivates a way of life between ocean and forest.
Forêt des Landes
With nearly a million hectares of maritime pine, the largest man-made forest in Europe, planted from the nineteenth century to fix the dunes and drain the marshes.
Hossegor
A seaside resort renowned for its powerful waves that make it one of the world's surfing meccas, built around a marine lake ringed with pines.
Le Courant d'Huchet
The immense beaches of the Aquitaine coast are all bordered by dunes. Behind these dunes a string of lakes has formed.
