LE COURANT D’HUCHET
Taking a boat ride down the little river of Courant d'Huchet is a unique experience. It's a 10-km journey, departing from Léon pond in the Landes. The boatmen will take you on a discovery trip through varied scenery, among swamps, peat bogs and dunes, home to many little-known and protected animal species.
LES GORGES
DE KAKUETTA
Plunge into the "Basque Amazon" at Sainte-Engrace. Explore this 2-km long canyon along the marked trails and walkways that follow the river as it winds its way down. Waterfalls and lush vegetation await you. Allow 2 hours for a round trip. Easily accessible to all ages. Open from March 15 to November 15.
LA RHUNE
Climb to the top of a mountain in the Basque country. You can reach La Rhune either via the rack railway or by hiking from the charming village of Sare.
Magnificent panoramic views await you there,
over the Basque Country and the Atlantic Ocean,
and you can also observe the wildlife
as you go up.
SENTIER
DU LITTORAL BASQUE
From Bidart to Hendaye in the Basque Country, the path overlooks the ocean, winding along the cliffs, through typical villages, between sea and mountains. Depart from Erretegia beach, to finish 25 km further in Txingudi Bay. You can do this walk in several goes, but we'd recommend always heading towards Hendaye, so you have a view on the mountains as you go.
DOMAINE ET CHÂTEAU
D’ABBADIA
Once upon a time… There was Abaddia! A majestic estate where meadows and orchards stretch lazily across 65 hectares of wild moors, looking out over the ocean in Hendaye. This is a place of poetry and dreams... Take a fascinating tour of the castle for a glimpse into the life of its illustrious host, Antoine d'Abbadie, a man of science and a great traveller.
COURSES DE VACHETTES
Participants confront the local Les Landes cow, the famous “vachette” celebrated by Intervilles in a series of spectacular acrobatic tricks. L’ECART: when the animal attacks with its horns the participant pivots on one foot and the cow slides into the small of his back. LE SAUT: the participant jumps over the cow which is running at full speed.
