Several improvements have been made to the crossing of the Saint Pierre du Mont nautical base: The step at the entrance to the area on the east side (Mont de Marsan) has been rectified: a stabilized inclined section has been created. At the level of the swimming lake, the route has been modified: it is no longer necessary to go around the swimming area and venture onto the initial chaotic "single". You can now reach the west exit (Dax side) directly - while keeping your bike in hand. The signage has been updated. The crossing, however, remains unsuitable for bikes with thin tires.

This church was dedicated to Saint Peter / "Saint-PIERRE". Simon, nicknamed Peter (the word means "rock"), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother Andrew - was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the highest apostle, and the two thousand year long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successors. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). Saint-Pierre is - together with Saint-Paul - also known as the "prince of the apostles", their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th.

Its swimming lake and its 7,000 m² white sand beach allow you to enjoy aquatic pleasures. A second 2-hectare basin is reserved for freshwater fishing. A playground accessible to people with disabilities as well as a volleyball court. Located on the edge of the swimming lake, the restaurant-bistro “Fourchette et sable blanc” open all year round offers the possibility of dining on site and offers take-away sales. Its different formulas adapt to all desires and appetites. Picnic areas, in the shade of tall pines, are also available. In order to encourage sports and fun activities, the Marsan leisure center has 3 km of cycle paths and 2 km of walking paths. If the one and a half hour fitness trail around the lakes satisfies the most motivated, the treetop adventure course and its 350 m zip line above the swimming lake will delight the most adventurous.

Unfortunately, although on the EV 3-Scandiberian European route, the crossing of the nautical base of St Pierre du Mont offers a surface unworthy of such a course: ruts, sand and pebbles… this is what you will find under your wheels. This is very unfortunate because the site is pleasant, shaded and suitable for swimming. There is no question of asphalting the crossing but a bit of smoothing would be greatly appreciated, especially by busy cyclists.
