The architectural heritage of this village bears witness to the prosperous years of the Forges and other industries of Pontenx in the 18th and 19th centuries: bourgeois residences nestled in a park, buildings clad in garluche or even brick houses beautifully decorated with flowers. In secondary roads and side roads are numerous magnificently restored airials. The airial of Bouricos, open to the public, is a very fine example: located in the heart of the pine forest, the site is a true haven of peace with its 13th century chapel whose ceiling has been magnified by a sculpture in wooden lace and a little further back, the St Jean Fountain, which is said to be miraculous.

Finally, some turns and climbs/descents, among unaligned pine trees. A pleasant section to ride.

3.5 kilometres long, Lake Aureilhan is one of the large Landes lakes located near the coast. Paths and trails allow you to go around it.

As you cross the bridge to the Flower Island, you enter a haven of peace surrounded by the calm waters of the Courant de Mimizan. The wooden bridge offers a picturesque route to this small island where you will find an abundance of wild flowers that bloom during the warmer months. You will enjoy the birdsong and the sound of the water, which add to the tranquility.

Saint John the Baptist (Saint Jean Baptiste), to whom this church in Mézos is dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zacharias and Elisabeth, and after the announcement of the Incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in her old age, namely John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends upon him from heaven. The memorial day of Saint John the Baptist (Jean Baptiste) in the calendar of saints is June 24, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

Wonderfully undulating route through pine forest and dunes - with wonderful views

Attention very busy passage in the summer season ... Pied à terre almost compulsory for cyclists
