Hiking
In the area of the dunes, as here in Lesconil, there are trough-shaped, stone-fringed depressions, so-called "fours à goémon", in which seaweed was once collected and dried to "pains de soude". Due to the sodium and iodine compounds in the dried seaweed, the "pains de soude" were raw materials for industry and agriculture.
