Discover the Landes: nature, ocean and the sweetness of life
You have chosen the Landes to find yourself, to set sail without going far. The road to Seignosse already announces color: pine trees everywhere, the light that shines through, that scent of the South-West that you recognize even before arriving. Here, we are already green, already in nature, already a little freer.
Stay in Seignosse: accommodation, land and lifestyle
When you put your bags in your lodging, everything is simple and smooth. A quiet, bright, fully equipped space, ready to welcome you effortlessly - soft sheets, shaded terrace, and this access to the wellness area that is just waiting to be booked. The kind of place where you settle in quickly, where you can breathe better, by the sea and just enough in the sun.
At noon, the Landes plate makes the transition. A local aperitif, a shared drink, the sweetness of a fresh fruit salad for dessert. The Landes have this way of welcoming: generous, direct, sincere. You can taste the land as much as you listen to it. You are already finding your rhythm.
Experience the Landes: surfing in Seignosse, ocean and discoveries
The next day, the ocean is calling you. On Bourdaines beach in Seignosse, an introduction to surfing awaits you. You put on your suits, laugh at the first attempts, gradually understand wave dance. The ocean shakes you, carries you, tires you out — but it anchors something. You end up standing up, one after the other, looking out to the beach. An unforgettable feeling, rooted in this stay by the sea, with probably some good aches to come!
Surfing in the Landes is not just a sport: it is a way of entering the territory.
In the afternoon, the desire is to calm the situation. Direction Biarritz and the Cité de l'Océan, to understand this marine world that you have just touched. A 4D cinema, immersive experiences, stories of coastal protection... A gentler break, but just as captivating, always in the sun, always in nature.
And then, on the way back, a spontaneous stop at a local producer. Foie gras, duck breast, small golden potatoes, Pastis Landais that smells of vanilla... Enough to compose a 100% local dinner, to be enjoyed on the terrace.
For two, in front of the pine trees, in this light at the end of the day — a simple but delicious dinner, because the time is too.
Landes culture: traditions, encounters and shared moments
Les Landes is also the culture of the South-West, lively and full of character. You discover Basque pelota, which is also practiced in the South of the Landes. During a morning introduction, you learn the gestures, the history, and the pride behind this sport.
This same instructor tells you about a Greeter, an inhabitant in love with his region, who then takes you on a fascinating story about Dax, its traditions, its legends. A true, memorable encounter. A page that was not planned, but that you love.
In the evening, the neighboring village is celebrating. Friendly tables, music, entertainment, a traditional meal served just like at home. You let yourself be carried away. Laughter, dance, improvised conversations... a total immersion in the Landes spirit, the one that unites, that warms, that invites.
When you leave, the most pressing feeling is simple: you are well. Well together, well in this territory, well in the green, well in nature, well at the seaside. The Landes play their role: to offer you a breath that is authentic, lively, generous.
And maybe, when you think about coming back, it all starts with the same sentence: “When are we going back? ”
