This immense expanse of water, covering 3,540 hectares, in the Landes communes of Biscarrosse, Gastes and Parentis-en-Born, is perfect for water sports such as windsurfing, sailing in a dinghy or catamaran, canoeing or pedal boating. And for picnics, relaxing or swimming, there is a pretty beach at Parentis-en-Born!
Bathing is supervised in the summer. You can find a picnic area near the lake. You can also rent pedal boats to escape to the lake.
Welcome to the little local Amazon. To the north and east, the banks of the Taffarde marsh are home to special plants such as the False Cresson de Thore, which loves peat and seasonal variations in water levels, and the Portuguese Grassette, which delights in the imprints left behind. by the hooves of cows and horses. In the higher zones, you then enter the so-called "wet" moors. The heather is here queen. She draws a mauve landscape at the height of the beautiful season. The forest is not far and allows to create very varied environments that benefit many species.
