Discovering Ychoux in the Landes

Go to the heart of the Landes forest for this new exploration

Ychoux, a symbolic etymology

A small town surrounded by the Landes de Gascogne National Park, the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean, Ychoux comes alive in the hinterland. Some sources say that the name of this town comes from the Basques. When they discovered the desert territory, their first word is said to be "Jesus", which is phonetically "Ychoux" in Basque.

Take advantage of your trip to Ychoux to visit the church of Notre-Dame. With its 5-pointed roof, you can't miss it. You will find 3 fountains at the back of the chapel:

• The fountain of Saint-Jean ;
• The fountain of Notre-Dame;
• The fountain of Sainte-Rose.

The legends of the village tell us that each of them has the power to repair man.

A dynamic hamlet

Between Bordeaux and the Basque region, Ychoux is ideally located in the south-west of France. You can quickly reach the beaches thanks to the numerous cycle paths. In addition, don't hesitate to join the Vélodyssée to discover the Atlantic coast by bicycle or the arboretum's walking and cycling route.

For fishing enthusiasts, the Etang des Forges awaits you for days of calm. This unspoilt estate is the perfect place to recharge your batteries, catch fish or even take a walk through the woods.

Between the beaches of the coast and the forest of the Landes, you will spend a green holiday in Ychoux!
