후르틴‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 천연기념물

Nice section on the lake, check beforehand, you are not allowed to swim everywhere because of nature conservation or water jet ski slopes.

Former park of a property of Nathaniel Johnston (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathaniel_Johnston), nothing remains of the buildings but the clumps of rhododendrons lining the paths have remained and are currently in the middle of the forest. Currently, in August 2023, they appear to have suffered from heat or a lack of water. But perhaps they will regain all their shine in spring. Anyway the place is pleasant even without the flowers. Please note, this place is part of a group of hiking trails, certain portions of which are not authorized during the hunting season (https://www.gironde.fr/sites/default/files/2017-02/trac%C3% A9%20des%20celtes.pdf).

Nestled in the heart of the Landes de Gascogne forest, Lake Hourtin is the largest natural freshwater lake in France. These 5,600 hectares are home to many protected areas such as marshes, sand dunes and pine forests.

Nestled between lakes and ocean in the Hourtin nature reserve, the Contaut lagoon is an exceptional natural site. A wooden footbridge facilitates its crossing in a remarkable green setting.

A wooden walkway overlooks the area. Letting us appear galleries in the ferns, created by wild boars surely

Very relaxing area, after about 30 km of walking I took my meal break in this area

This is an ideal place for a wild swim and a picnic isolated from the tourist bustle of the area. Attention, it is mentioned that bicycles are prohibited. A certain tolerance is applied. Stay respectful of the place.
