Forêt des Landes de Gascogne

The largest forest massif in Europe! land of the maritime pine.

A hidden nature

The Landes de Gascogne forest is not just made of an array of pines. In terms of heritage, it has an exceptional flora and fauna. This forest region, which is unique in Europe, reveals an incommensurable naturalistic and landscape treasure. Within a century, the wet moorland produced a huge green canopy which makes it the largest forest in Europe in terms of surface area.

The triangle de sable de Landes de Gascogne, which portrays a unique landscape and natural environment shaped by water, wind and most recently by man, conceals varied and rich biodiversity treasures.
