The Landes department is renoowned for reliably good weather. The spring is usually characterised by rain while the summer is warm with the occasional storm. Running parallel to the coastline there are dunes, with a number of large lakes beside them in the north. The south is largely hilly and much of the department is covered in forest.
The area has been able to preserve a great deal of its natural heritage. The Landes Atlantic coastline is known as the silver coast, and after navigating the largest dunes in the whole of Europe you will witness the largest waves the continent has to offer as well. It's no wonder that surfers from all over the world flock here every year.
Mont-de-Marsan is the department capital, and this historical town is located at the confluence of the Midou and Douze. It has been a centre of trade throughout its history, with an impressive 14th Century keep with grand gardens, which is now used by the French military.
Elsewhere, Capbreton is an attractive seaside resort located in the south of the department. It also has an active fishing port and a promenade built by Napoleon III.
Bordeaux, Pau and Biarritz all have regular flights from the UK. The TGV trains take under 3 and half hours to travel from Paris to Bordeaux, or alternatively to Biarritz.
Property is not cheap in this region, but then does offer fabulous coastline properties with a great climate. Cheaper properties are inland, but too far inland towards Toulouse and property prices start to rise again.
