The name of Dax (from Aquae "the waters") evokes the humid environment on which the town was founded. Although ideally situated on a crossable area of the Adour, it had to build itself by managing the impetuous waters of the river, while at the same time taking advantage of the subsoil riches that made the spa famous. This walk is part of the exhibition Dax Odyssey, 35 years of urban history.
