Tourism in the Landes region and its department

Historically close to Spain, the Basque Country and the Pyrenees, the Landes of Gascogne located in the crossroads of stunning and authentic regions will be your host.

Où pêcher près de Messanges ?

The natural reserves are very specific and original: The Courant d’Huchet in Moliets and Léon (a site known for being a great habitat for fauna and flora), the natural reserve of l’Etang Blanc in Seignosse…And of course, for those who love fishing, there are several more or less large fishing ponds: The pond of Moïsan right behind the campsite at about 800 metres, the pond of la Prade towards Moliets at 2 kilometres…

Les Landes, terre de gastronomie à découvrir pendant votre séjour à Messanges

The Landes, a region famous for its gastronomy, will tease your taste buds thanks to its delicious and authentic local specialities. Wines, spirits, culinary specialities… So many succulent products such as: Duck confit, foie gras, sand wine (wine from vineyards bordering the Ocean), asparagus (in April), Floc de Gascogne (regional aperitif), selection of hams and delicatessen, Garbure (typical regional vegetable soup) in a restaurant in Dehiou or Soustons.

You will find all these products in the daily markets all over the region of the Landes as well as in Messanges twice a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Surf et pelote basque, les sports phare dans les Landes

Here, we are in both rugby and Basque pelota country as we are neighbours with the Basque country.

We are a great surf venue, and we organise international tournaments in Hossegur for men and women. Tennis tournaments in Vieux Boucau beginning of July, the golf course of Moliets, archery in Messanges, the festival of Soustons with a 10 km running race in August.

The municipal swimming pool is at 300 metres, the Atlantic Ocean at 2 kilometres, the Vieux Boucau sea water lake at 4 kilometres, the Leon lake at 12 kilometres… the choice is yours. Whether it is seawater or fresh, there is water everywhere. Huge beaches to swim sunbathe or play. Choose rather the supervised ones and respect the instructions of the life-guards.
