Barthes de l'Adour

Don't miss its equipped docks and take a look at the Adour's shores and the colours that emanate from them. More than 3000 years old, the Barthes de l'Adour are a typical environment of the region, corresponding to agricultural land (private and public) that can be flooded during the period when the river is flooding. In these vast expanses of water, grass and mounds strewn with trees in a row (the barthes), heavy horses and Landes ponies roam free. This pure nature is only disturbed by the flight of storks, the cry of a woodcock or the shadow of a grey heron. These (protected) wetlands favour the development of a specific flora listed by the National Forest Office such as carnivorous plants, alders or bald cypress. In summer the marsh hibiscus blooms on the banks of the Jouanin stream.
