No need to take your car to find yourself in the middle of nature. Cross a bridge, walk through a park and let yourself be carried away by the wind…
Saint-Paul-lès-Dax
Christus lake
This artificial 27-acre wide lake has been layed out in 1974. This former swamp is now a leisure field, with a picnic area, an open-air theatre, a playground and a fishing zone (with fishing licence)
Poustagnacq flour mill
Before French Revolution, this former flour mill belonged to the Barnabites in Dax. During French Restauration, Bertrand Geoffroy, owner of the property nearby, bought the domain and converted it in an iron factory closed in 1978.
The abesse property
For centuries, “la garluche”, a local stone mixed with charcoal, was used in metallurgical industry. The factory employed 400 people at the time.
The current “chemin d’Abesse” used to be a wooden railway transporting the iron from the extraction place to the Dax railway station.
