Learn to surf in the early hours of the morning, pretend you're a caveman, gallop along the beach: why not break your routine? After all, that's what holidays are for. And there's no better way to disconnect from everyday life than to try something new. The Landes is the perfect place for a holiday that's both rejuvenating and invigorating. Forming a triangle of around 220 km², this south-western département stretches south of the Gironde and north of the Basque Country. As well as its superb landscapes, the Landes department is also known for its friendly atmosphere, its sense of festivity and its gastronomy (foie gras, magret...).

The Landes coast: the perfect mix of waves and white sandy beaches

Renowned for the gigantic maritime pine forest (one of the largest in Europe) through which holidaymakers travelling south pass, the Landes region is divided into four areas. If you love the ocean, don't hesitate to head for the Atlantic coast and its miles of white sandy beaches. The charming towns along the Landes coast, such as Mimizan, Biscarosse, Capbreton and Hossegor, are perfect for families, couples or friends. Sporty? After a bike ride among the maritime pines, learn to master the waves by taking a surfing lesson. For you, holidays mean relaxation? Soak up the sun on some of the most beautiful beaches along the coast and soak up the sun between dips in the turquoise water. Then watch the sun set over the ocean as you sip a drink on the terrace. Are you there yet?

Inland: discover a secret and verdant nature

Looking for peace and quiet, wide open spaces and tranquillity? The Landes region also has some wonderful surprises in store for nature lovers. Discover the Landes de Gascogne Regional Nature Park!
