The Landes Forest
Cycle through the heart of one of the most beautiful French forests!
Europe's largest cultivated forest is still distinguished today by its unique species: the maritime pine.
Highly valued for the quality and abundance of its flora and fauna, the Landes Forest is home to a multitude of activities. Although 94% private, the forest is nonetheless open to the public.
Hike or cycle through the seasons and discover the colors on the cycle paths and other hiking trails developed in the heart of this massif.
Take your family on guided tours and other fun activities, such as tree tapping demonstrations, to fully enjoy these wide open spaces. Many tourist offices, such as Mimizan, Seignosse, and Hossegor, offer guided nature tours to explore this forest environment.
Discover the magnificent Landes forest by visiting the southwest, from Lacanau to Capbreton, and in particular, by traveling two stages of the Vélodyssée, from Mimizan to Léon, and from Léon to Capbreton. Don't hesitate to leave the cycle route to stop by the Courant Huchet and admire its exceptional landscapes.
