The Église Notre-Dame in Lit-et-Mixe dates back to the 15th century, but the beautiful tower was not built in its current form until around 1900. The church is open during the day and invites you to linger for a few minutes in silence, rest, and reflection.

Very worth seeing, you have to see it

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'.

Beautiful trail among the pines

Commune since 1875 by the conquest of the lands of Lévignacq, Uza is built around the green banks of its lake, a listed site. Close to Saint Julien en Born and the resort of Contis, Uza offers its accommodation and restaurant in unspoiled nature. The history of Uza merges with that of the Lur Saluzzo family, which owns a medieval castle there, which has been rebuilt, modified and restored many times, as well as vast land. Exploiting a blast furnace with nozzle and five refinery fires, thanks to the wood and the ore (garluche) which were on site, the forges produced at the time a high quality cast iron, used in particular by the navy and the arsenals. The fires died out little by little at the end of the 19th century, but on the village square there are still the old buildings of the forge workers transformed into dwellings. A Forges building bears witness to worker activity since the middle of the 18th century when the forges employed more than 200 workers. A true haven of peace, Lake Uza is located in the Landes department about twenty kilometers south of Mimizan, not far from Contis-plage and about twelve kilometers from the ocean.

The Saint-Jean-Baptiste church is located in the town of Mézos. There are a few restaurants and cafes nearby.

A country road that is not very busy. You can follow the fairly straight road for 10km through the pine forests. It is a perfect place to protect yourself from crosswinds. The road surface is quite good, although there may be some pine needles.

In an area full of beautiful bike paths, this one is really nice. It is worth taking a detour through the forest.
