Vous trouverez également plusieurs parcours complémentaires ici mis à jour : www.biscarrosse.com/randonnees-balades-running Profitez de notre belle nature au Coeur des Landes !
Not very far from the domain bike riding will let you discover the most beautiful paths of the region:
1 – The Put blanc path – 6 kms
Near the lake, we will discover small intimate beaches, quite secret and isolated, all around a preserved environment. It is the opportunity to swim calmly with children or your sweetheart. It is often sunny and we can inhale the smell of the pine trees and enjoy the wonderful view of the lake and its limpid waters. At the top (the white peak), in the middle of the Landes, the view is breath-taking. And from the Caton beach, an educational trail is waiting for you…
2 – The resin worker path – 0,5 km
You will observe the numerous stages of the resin extraction through the seasons and its evolution through the years. One of the last resin workers will be with you, one day a week (in July and August) in order to make relive the ancestral ritual of the resin gathering.

In the middle of the resin worker path do not hesitate to fork to find:
3 – The Gourgue path – 4,5 kms
The Gourgue is a stream in the Landes which has its source in the valley with the same name and which is responsible for the formation of the Cazaux-Sanguinet Lake.
During the summer, the freshness of this small stream will put you in a unique and relaxing atmosphere.
Last but not least, go to discover:
4 – The Estey path – 10 kms
At least three hours are necessary if you decide to walk on this picturesque path. After the Estey path, you will walk along the big swamp. On your way, you will probably meet a diversified wildlife such as egrets, herons and other duck in transit.
