Linxe walks

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.

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.

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

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.

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 family-friendly walk will take you along the banks of the Adour and its alluvial plain. ¹ The alluvial plains are vast floodplains frequented by herds of semi-wild horses. The area is rich in wildlife, including storks, egrets and grey herons. This walk follows the old towpath along the banks of the Adour and can also be done by mountain bike. It has recently been tarmacked from the start to Saubusse. As mentioned above, as the alluvial plains are floodplains, it is best not to walk there after heavy rain.

This is a very diverse circular route that allows you to discover two aspects of Mimizan. On the one hand, there is the historical aspect: the bell tower, the wash house, the Borne de Sauveté, and the Château de Woolsack. On the other hand, there is the geographical aspect: the dunes, the forest, the flora, and the site of Lac d'Aureilhan Mimizan. Please note: A municipal decree dated 12 December 2017 prohibits the use of the footbridge known as "Gombaut" (point 7 on the map) for the safety of users.

This section of the Sentier de l'Adour between Candresse and Hinx can be done in both directions as a round trip or as a one-way trip. In this case, you will need two vehicles.

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.

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.

Literally around the lake, following the shore.

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.

A circular route that passes by the promontory called Tuc des Neuf Églises allows you to climb a few metres in a landscape that is otherwise rather flat.

This is a pleasant route away from the major centres of activity, between cornfields and the banks of the Adour, where you can discover old gravel pits and a 23,400-panel, 11 MWc photovoltaic park floating on the expanse of water created when the gravel pits were abandoned.

A flat route, very interesting for those who love nature and birds (best done during winter migration): grey cranes, ducks, geese, wading birds, etc.

Published by the Landes Departmental Tourism Committee, this route is reproduced here for use with Visorando.

This 7.5 km circuit, fully signposted, allows you to discover the twelve remarkable trees of the municipality of Labenne in the south of the Landes. Poplars, cork oaks and different types of pines, some of which are over 150 years old. There is an explanatory panel for each remarkable tree. This walk also allows you to immerse yourself in the Landes forest with its pines, eucalyptus trees, oaks and all the local vegetation (arbutus, broom, gorse, etc.). During this walk, you will pass behind Labenne Zoo where you may see lemurs or kangaroos. Please note that at the (8), you will need to climb a tuc (sand hill), which may be difficult for some people. Please respect nature (no picking) and be very vigilant about the risk of forest fires. Several of the plots you will be crossing are private, but the owners have given their permission.

Three concentric circular loops run through the pine forest and are recommended by the Ondres and Tarnos Seignanx Tourist Offices. They are marked in red, green and yellow. The yellow-marked route is described here for use with Visorando.

A round trip on the south bank of the Bidouze from Guiche.

La promenade des coteaux de Riston est une boucle dans les Barthes de l’Adour. Ces zones humides abritent de nombreux oiseaux.
