Route des Phares

Highlight • Other

In summer take lots of water, there’s not much shade on the tarmac section and temperatures get high

Col du Château d'eau

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Nice little gimmick, probably put up by the forestry administration.
I would have preferred a better surface.

Contaut Lagoon

Highlight • Lake

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.

Lagune de Contaut Boardwalk

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful marsh with hanging birches (reminds a bit of a primeval forest) // free boardwalk around the lake (very good for photography) // if you're lucky you can see red …

A great concrete-topped path which is shared by walkers, joggers and cyclists. Road shoes are fine - it is narrow in places, so be prepared to give way. It leads you adjacent to the dunes to the Hourtin lighthouse.
