Contis Lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Contis lighthouse is the only lighthouse in the Landes department. Commissioned in 1863, it stands 41.5 meters high 860 meters from the shore.

The lighthouse was painted with a double white and black stripe in 1937, so that it could be used for daytime navigation.

This lighthouse, which also serves as a radio relay, can be visited for 3 euros per person.

Sainte-Madeleine de Contis Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The current Sainte-Madeleine de Contis Church was consecrated in 1954. Two wooden chapels previously existed, but were demolished in 1855 (due to dilapidation) and in 1942 (by German troops).
Noteworthy is the plaque commemorating the record set by aviator Léon Bathiat on August 31, 1912, during the Pommery Cup, for the longest distance flown on that day.

Le Pont Rose

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The romantically named rose bridge crosses the Contis river that creates an almost subtropical 'jungle' atmosphere, though the water is not too inviting for swimming. Next to the bridge is a ramp to launch kayaks or small boats, and there is a canoe rental during the season.
