An area of over 300 sq km and a population of just 350,000 - the Landes National Park is somewhere to spread your wings and to get back in touch with nature. Visitors here invariably leave with a renewed sense of peace and vitality. For active days there are lakes for boating, swimming, picnic-ing or just observing the wildlife, and several centres for horse-riding, canoeing, cycle trails, rambling along marked routes or discovering local history. Join in village festivals in summer - lively, friendly, great fun! In the north the wine country is on your doorstep, in the middle and south the ocean beaches of Côte d'Argent and Côte Basque are in easy reach, as is the culture and heritage of Gascony. All in all, a natural haven.
Take a look at this short but inspireing video.

White Water Rafting
|
The Pyrénées offer lots of opportunities for organized outdoor activities (rafting, body boards, rock climbing, potholing, canyoning etc…) run by centres where full tuition and all equipment is provided. These activities are on the whole for families with older children who are looking for that adrenalin rush and bit of extra excitement that perhaps a gentle canoe/kayak ride doesn’t give! In the western Pyrénées the towns of Sauveterre-de-Béarn and Laàs, have white water rafting centres which offer ½ or whole day excursions. An ability to swim at least 25m is essential.
