Messanges and Vieux-Boucau: life in Landes villages<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Messanges, a preserved village<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An exceptional location between ocean and nature. Located in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, in the south of the Landes<\/a>, Messanges<\/a>, a flower-filled village, offers you the warmth of its hospitality in an exceptional forest setting spanning 3,400 hectares. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our 5-kilometre beach<\/strong>, two lifeguard stations (Messanges Sud and Messanges Nord; supervised from June 15 to September 15, when our four-legged friends are welcome on a leash), as well as the semaphore, will let you enjoy a wide range of water sports<\/strong> in complete peace of mind, under sunny skies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking trails, the GR8<\/strong>, cycle<\/strong> paths<\/strong>, and tennis<\/strong> await you for a relaxing stay, in a setting of water, greenery, space, and freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market every Wednesday morning all year round, and every Wednesday and Friday morning (in season) in the village centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to welcoming you to our charming<\/strong>, friendly<\/strong> village<\/strong>, where life is good, just a stone\u2019s throw from the Basque Country<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
