The Hot Fountain

Highlight • Natural Monument

Do you smell this smell? It is the thermal water that springs naturally in Dax. If you approach, have fun touching the water that comes out of the fountain, you can see that it is naturally hot.

A tour that I usually do on a mountain bike but perfectly doable with a Gravel. Some areas of the course are a little more "technical" but nothing too bad. Places such as the Maison de la Barthe, the Mur de César, the Barthes on the banks of the Adour, the village of Saubusse, etc., are worth a visit.
