:: Rivers and canals 
There is a rich history of boatmen in the region. The Garonne, the Dordogne, the smaller rivers and the canals are tourist itineraries nowadays.
You can sail down them in boats - without a licence - and take in a thousand villages and landscapes offering a rich heritage and friendly encounters with people in each area.
It’s almost official: time does go more slowly on the canals of the Midi!

:: The eco-museum in Marquèze
In the Landes area where the villages were very far from each other, the inhabitants used to group together in areas called “airials”. In these hamlets, the baker, the shepherd and other craftsmen lived in an autarchy.
The Eco-museum plunges you into the daily life of these people in the almost deserted Landes of the 19th century.
The little train that you take to see the place will delight children – of all ages…

:: The Basque ledge and Abbadia 
After Anglet, the succession of sandy beaches comes to and end, giving way to a coastline made up of cliffs, creeks and bays.
The Basque ledge near Hendaye is a protected natural area where the fauna – particularly migratory birds – and the flora – local and exotic species – have found refuge.
Domaine d’Abbadia is owned by the Coastline Conservatory and combines natural sciences, history and architecture, with a castle designed by Viollet-Le-Duc and a breathtaking view!
