Lesperon (Landes) walks

This route offers a wide variety of terrain, including streams, sunny stretches and shaded areas.

Circular trail to discover remarkable wetlands and forests.

A lovely walk through the woodland, amongst new pine plantations, and around the Ruisseau de Coulin. Organised by the Landes Departmental Council.

A green circular offering a pleasant route through meadows, gardens, streams and ponds, small deciduous woods and a few sections of pine forest. Discover some fine architectural heritage.

This route goes around the two large lakes of Arjuzanx, Lake Commanday and Lake Arjuzanx. The track is on a gravel path and is suitable for mountain bikes.

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.

This walk takes you along good sandy paths, mostly through a varied forest of pines, oaks, chestnut trees, acacias, broom, ferns and so on... From the Chemin de Bouhette, you can admire the magnificent Moulin de Pouymartet and cross the Ruisseau de Cabanes via a narrow 30 cm bridge (easy).

A lovely walk along wide, comfortable paths where you can see meadows, fields, woodland, lakes, streams and even llamas. As well as some beautiful Landes-style houses.

A cycle route, there and back, from the Lette car park to the Contis lighthouse. A dedicated cycle path through the heart of the forest, following the Vélodyssée. The route is easy to follow and has virtually no elevation gain.

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.

Wooded hike through pine, oak and acacia forests, passing by the miraculous spring of Buglose.

A challenging circuit offering high-quality and varied sections. Full of contrasts, it takes you from the banks of the Étang de Moliets to the peaks of a few hills, from the lush vegetation of the wetlands to the perfectly smooth green of the golf course.

This section of the Sentier de l’Adour runs between Saint-Vincent-de-Paul and Candresse.

A very varied circular route that allows you to discover two sides of Mimizan. On the one hand, the historical side: the bell tower and porch, the wash house, the Borne de Sauveté, and Woolsack Castle. On the other hand, the geographical side: the dunes, the forest, the flora and the Lac d’Aureilhan Mimizan site.Please note: A local by-law dated 12 December 2017 prohibits use of the footbridge known as ‘Gombaut’ (point 7 on the map) for the safety of users. See a hiker’s suggestion in the practical information section.

This section of the Adour Trail runs between Hinx and Préchacq-les-Bains. It can be walked in either direction as a round trip or as a one-way trip, in which case you will need two vehicles.

A family walk in the heart of Vieux-Boucau’s communal forest. The route follows sections of the pidgeon hunting hut and Mare aux Biches nature trails before returning via the Léon-Soustons cycle path. Along the way, there are numerous benches, picnic tables and information boards describing the area. 

A pleasant walk in three parts: - the banks of the Courant de Mimizan - the forest and coastal dunes (flora and fauna) - the ocean and the beach.

A lovely walk around Poyanne Castle and the Chalosse hillsides.
