Your ride begins on the beach , crossing the dunes that form a natural barrier preventing Lake Latécoère from flowing into the ocean. This trek then takes you to one of the largest lakes in Europe. It was formed by the accumulation of water from the Landes plain, notably thanks to the Gourgues , a historic stream bordering a village of ancient origin. You gradually leave behind this landscape of clear water and fine sand. Your horses then guide you along the surrounding marshes before you reach your hotel .
