At the lake

A lake nestled between maritime pines and golden dunes. It’s THE spot where relaxation takes on its full meaning! Looking for a thrill? Our water sports activities await you: from zen paddling to pedal-boating, not forgetting sailing to play captain for a day.

Sunday anglers and pros alike will find plenty to do here – our pikes are reputed to be the smartest in the Landes (challenge accepted?)! For nature lovers, our trails around the lake promise unforgettable walks, with the added bonus of photo spots to make all your friends on Instagram jealous.

The other blue paradise! Lake Mimizan

Imagine a 7 km long ribbon of fresh water threading its way between the pines and the ocean… No, this isn’t the beginning of a fairytale, it’s the Lac de Mimizan – Aureilhan!

A true natural treasure of the Landes region, it’s one of those spots where nature puts on a show all year round: a ballet of migratory birds in winter, an explosion of flowers in spring, and in summer… the coolest place to escape the heat!

On its unspoilt banks, let us tell you thestory of the “gemmeurs“, the Landes heroes who harvested pine resin. Today, between ancient fishermen’s huts and shady paths, the lake invites you to take a refreshing break in 100% natural surroundings!
