Pleasant walk but beware of flooding

The Vimport Bridge spans the Adour River south of the Greater Dax urban community. A new parking lot has just been built, providing a starting point for a walk or bike ride along the towpath along the banks of the Adour, or towards the Barthes de Rivière. A new section of cycle path is currently being developed, linking Dax train station to Vimport. It will become the new route for the EuroVélo3 route towards Bayonne or the Pyrenees.

Beautiful, very quiet road along the Adour
