Tips from the Community
Most of the Landes arenas were built towards the end of the 19th century. However, some arenas, like this one in Bégaar, were built specifically for the summer season with a wooden frame. Most arenas host the Landes bullfights. During these races, the bullfighters dodge the cow in the center of the ring at the last moment. The jumpers perform jumps over the cow. During local festivals, bullfighting games (bullfighting) are also organized, as well as cockade competitions where bullfighters must tear a piece of cloth from between the cow's horns. In larger arenas, bullfights or novilladas take place. Types: Small rural heritage Source: https://www.tourismelandes.com/patrimoine-culturel/les-arenes-pcuaqu040fs000dg/

Several improvements have been made to the crossing of the Saint Pierre du Mont nautical base: The step at the entrance to the area on the east side (Mont de Marsan) has been rectified: a stabilized inclined section has been created. At the level of the swimming lake, the route has been modified: it is no longer necessary to go around the swimming area and venture onto the initial chaotic "single". You can now reach the west exit (Dax side) directly - while keeping your bike in hand. The signage has been updated. The crossing, however, remains unsuitable for bikes with thin tires.

Its swimming lake and its 7,000 m² white sand beach allow you to enjoy aquatic pleasures. A second 2-hectare basin is reserved for freshwater fishing. A playground accessible to people with disabilities as well as a volleyball court. Located on the edge of the swimming lake, the restaurant-bistro “Fourchette et sable blanc” open all year round offers the possibility of dining on site and offers take-away sales. Its different formulas adapt to all desires and appetites. Picnic areas, in the shade of tall pines, are also available. In order to encourage sports and fun activities, the Marsan leisure center has 3 km of cycle paths and 2 km of walking paths. If the one and a half hour fitness trail around the lakes satisfies the most motivated, the treetop adventure course and its 350 m zip line above the swimming lake will delight the most adventurous.
