The Landes, an enormous area of marsh land, were transformed to a dreamland during the second empire thanks to Mr. Chanbrelent, an engineer who created the planting of the forest as we know it to day. Maritime pine, cork-oak and oak trees cover extensive expanses of land and entice treks through the forest.

 

   The landes coast is very well suited to all water sports, such as surfing or sailing and also for fishing. It is a godsend to the fishermen because of the gulf stream, Mediterranean fish rub shoulders with Atlantic species !

  The Landes' Foie Gras represents 45% of the French production ! Over 3,300 tonnes of foie gras are produced annually in the Landes by 6.3 million ducks and 120,000 geese. Foie gras, Magret (Duck breast), Duck Confit (preserved duck meat) and Salade Landaise are flagships of the Landes and of French gastronomy.
 
  The Landes' duck are free range, fattened with whole grain maize by 4,000 independant farmers concerned about preserving quality and authenticity of thier production. A foretaste of what awaits you...
