Mugron is a small hilltop town with a lovely view. Park near the church and visit the Tree of Liberty, planted in the 19th century. It's majestic, and right next to it is a lovely viewpoint. Take a moment to admire the landscape beneath its canopy of trees. Mugrón is easily explored on foot. You'll find plenty to pack for a picnic, and then head to the leisure center: a lake where you can swim and enjoy water slides with the kids. There's a refreshment bar in season and everything you need for a pleasant time with family or friends, at a very reasonable price! The banks of the Adour also offer lovely walks.

Built on the old railway line that connected Saint-Sever to the spa town of Dax, the Chalosse Green Route offers a 34-kilometer stretch on smooth, hard-surfaced ground. The route offers a bucolic atmosphere with landscapes of woods, hills, and meadows. Among the main tourist attractions are the town center of Saint-Sever (whose abbey is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Santiago de Compostela Route), the villages of Mugron and Montfort with its Chalosse Museum, and Montaut, a charming Chalosse village. The Landes-Chalosse destination will delight cyclists thanks to its green route and numerous hiking trails.

Henri Emmanuelli (1945-2017), Member of Parliament and President of the Landes Departmental Council for over three decades, served several times as Secretary of State under François Mitterrand in the 1980s and as President of the National Assembly between 1992 and 1993. He lived in Laurède. The Memorial was inaugurated on September 10, 2018, by sculptor Jacques Raoult and architect Michel Cantal-Dupart. These two artists previously collaborated on the sculpture of the François Mitterrand Memorial in Soustons. Henri Emmanuelli, the most emblematic political figure in the Landes region, is immortalized seated on a bench, his gesture relaxed but his gaze fixed on the Pyrenean horizon and the Eaux-Bonnes mountains, where "Ricou," the grandson of an Ossalois shepherd, was born. source: https://www.tourismelandes.com/patrimoine-culturel/memorial-henri-emmanuelli-pcuaqu040v50r0cp/

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.

A former railway line, the Chalosse Greenway is an unusual playground for a walk or horseback ride. For mountain bikers, this trail can be completed in a day or in sections if you're bringing young children. Be careful, however, as this trail is unpaved and not suitable for road bikes. We recommend using the trail from two starting points: Hinx and Saint Sever (Augreilh district). This section is not shared with cars.
