Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park Closer, more responsible, more sustainable

Welcome to the Southwest, between the Landes forest and the Arcachon Bay ! The Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park stretches along the valleys of the Leyre, a wild river to explore by canoe. Its delta on the Arcachon Bay is a bird paradise. Under the maritime pines, white paths lead to our favorite gems: a Landes airial, a healing fountain, the works of the Contemporary Art Forest, a concert in a Cercle de Gascogne, the wintering Common Cranes, a secret lagoon... Slow pace recommended to immerse yourself and follow to the letter the advice of very inspired hosts.

The Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park is a pioneer in the desire to offer a different kind of tourism, a more sustainable, more responsible kind. Several key facilities are testament to this: the numerous water sports centers, hiking and cycling trails, as well as the Park's two visitor centers, the Teich site – the Maison de la Nature and the Ornithological Reserve, and the Marquèze Ecomuseum, one of the first ecomuseums in France.

Discover the Landes de Gascogne with Imaginaterres, around fifty service providers (accommodation providers, tourist activity providers, artisans, producers, etc.), united by the Park, sensitive to the challenges of sustainable development and committed to more responsible tourism. Close to nature and aware of the region's rich heritage, these stakeholders share our values. They strive daily to place solidarity, the environment, generous hospitality and the Gascon identity at the heart of their offering and put themselves, in the most beautiful way, at the service of our adage "Another form of tourism is invented here".

They have put together an address book to share with you the region they love: a stroll at dusk, the baker's sourdough bread, the Cercle Gascon, the local producer... It's these unexpected emotions, the surprises of a human encounter, the pleasure of learning new (eco)gestures that make a vacation or a getaway unforgettable.
