Opting for the south of the Landes means choosing a concentrate of well-being. It is choosing the balance between the health of the body and the serenity of the mind. To do this, it means selecting the wildest beaches, the greatest diversity of landscapes and the beach breaks that the whole world scrutinizes. It’s understanding that with this setting, taking care of yourself becomes a real commitment, a real resolution. The important thing is to do it at your own pace.
Slowly at your own pace
Activate your senses
Become aware of this setting that is offered to you. Immense nature, available everywhere. It's easy to indulge in a morning stroll on a beach emptied of these towels. It is even possible to try a water walk (long coast) or swim with a qualified professional. Are you interested in a yoga or meditation experience? in the forest, facing the ocean? the choice is yours. Getting around by bike, on a daily basis, during a stay also remains an activity to reconnect with a gentle activity.
Fully out of certainty
Opt for a regular commitment
Then we take a step forward. Fully integrated into this landscape, it becomes a playground for more sustained practice. Let's not talk about intensity but only regularity and fullness. Sports practice becoming a source of well-being. A paddle ride on Lake Soustons, in a Natura 2000 classified area, a more involved practice in the mountain bike circuits of the local forest, a canoe descent between two lakes, or just a little jogging along the ocean or in the forest… only the scenery changes to make your experience more intense.
Intensely out of passion
Commit yourself as a committed sportsman
Here most of the residents, young and old, have a sports culture. Everyone at their own level as long as the practice exists. Historically and traditionally driven by its rugby, handball or basketball teams, surfing has gained an international place since the 70s. All these sports linked to the ocean are fully anchored in daily life. Team sport and individual sport combine effortlessly, giving rise to numerous elite athletes on Landes soil.
Undeniably a playground
Welcoming and sharing our territory with the greatest
So, if this setting is favorable to regular, gentle, intensive, varied practice for everyone, then it is essential for national and international level teams. This is how the territory has become very attractive for the preparations of the best handball teams, football, rugby, rugby sevens, rowing, judo, skateboarding... Capbreton and Soustons in the lead have naturally become Preparation Centers for the Olympic Games (CPJ).
