La statue Notre-Dame

Statue of Our Lady: it was made by the sculptor Lucien Danglade (1851-1951). A pupil of Charles Despiau, a famous artist from Mont-de-Marsan, he designed many bas-reliefs for holiday houses around the lake of Hossegor with local themes: the ox team, the fisherman... Every 14th August, it is here that the vigil and torchlight procession dedicated to the Virgin Mary is held, considered by sailors as the protective mother who watches over them and their families and which in Gascony is called "L'Estèle de la Ma" (The Star of the Sea).
