Messanges, a charming village typical of the Landes

Nestled in the heart of the Landes forest in Marensin, this small part of the Landes de Gascogne, both "rural and seaside", is surrounded by vast pine forests, ponds and lakes. The numerous footpaths and cycle tracks that criss-cross the coastline allow for beautiful walks in the heart of 3,400 hectares of pine forests bordered by 5 kilometres of white sand.
During the hottest hours of the summer, campers enjoy the coolness of the Landes forest to recharge their batteries in the heart of a preserved nature. Between Messanges and the Etang de la Prade, the walker discovers a pleasant stroll along the sandy paths that lead to the outskirts of Moliets-et-Mâa. Here, the ocean is hidden by the forest, even though it is so close. Continue towards the Moïsan pond and its 3 km of marked paths through the pine forest and reed beds. This is the last remnant of the roadstead formed by the former mouth of the Adour. You will discover a luxuriant flora and a preserved fauna typical of the Landes.
