A lovely walk through moorland and pine forests. You pass by the lake and above Le Binaou in the neighbourhood of the same name. Easy with no difficulty. Very pleasant for a fairly quick walk or to do with children.👍

A peaceful walk, with a private mill that cannot be seen from the path. The route is very accessible and mostly runs through forest (despite a few clearings), with part of the return journey on a cycle path (in the woods). Please note that Place des Muletiers is undergoing construction work to create a market hall, so it is best to park at the stadium to start the walk.

A walk of little interest, with a private mill closed to the public and ponds surrounded by bamboo, making them invisible.

What a pleasure it is to walk through moors and pine forests, surrounded by silence and the sound of insects. A superb walk that is not to be missed!

Enjoy your walk, the route is very well marked.
It's a shame that the mill is private property, according to what we saw on the signs.

Beautiful hike in the pine forest. Easy with children.
Binaou mill not identified: no information signs. A pity.

Perfect for a family outing,
The first part of the route is a bit unpleasant because it is busy at this time of year, but once you pass the oak tree, you arrive in the forest where it is completely peaceful.
Great with children.

I enjoyed this well-marked route.
One comment: at point "2", you need to turn before the large cork oak tree, not after it.

↔9.07 mi ↗+89 ft ↘-89 ft ◔4h 15 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Moliets-et-Maa (Landes)
A very fine circuit, which can be modified to suit the length and type of path required. You follow the Huchet stream, a small river that flows from the Étang de Léon to the ocean. Spectacular flora and beautiful colours at the mouth of this walk through the Landes Amazon. Author's note 24 June 2024. Walk described on Visorando in 2019, done several times since then, but despite the work done on the footbridge, it is still closed. The forest rangers I met in October 2023 gave me no information about the reopening of the Nasse footbridge. The loop described in 2019 is therefore still not feasible in 2024. A return trip is therefore necessary. I recommend that you then drive to the mouth of the Huchet stream and follow the stream upstream, as the scenery is sublime depending on the time of day.

An original, easy and relaxing circular starting from Vieux-Boucau, going around the Port d'Albret marine lake and then reaching Messanges via the beach, with your feet in the water or not, depending on the tide. The return route passes by the Messanges semaphore, the Étang de Moïsan lake, then enters the Landes forest before reaching the Vieux-Boucau bullring.

⚑Departure from Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains (Landes)
Depending on your time and fitness level, do the double circular loop or just one of the two circular loops. This double circular loop will take you through the Landes forest and along the Courant de Soustons. The route starts in the centre of Vieux-Boucau, where there are quite a few people. Then head into the forest via the Courant de Soustons and the Voie Verte to Soustons and back. Once you reach Soustons, you can also walk around the lake for a hike that will last the whole day. There is little tarmac except in Vieux-Boucau and Soustons.

A large circular loop around the Port d'Albret marine lake. Port d'Albret, now called Vieux-Boucau (old mouth), could have been the first port on the Landes coast if the Adour had not been diverted in 1578 to give it its current estuary at Bayonne.

This lovely walk, through a forest of Landes pines and oaks, follows wide paths. There are a few tracks and some small roads. It can be done in all seasons, but in spring you can enjoy the broom in bloom.
