The landscape of Barthes 

By going to the small thermal village of Tercis-Les-Bains, located at 6km south-west of Dax, implanted at the junction of the Adour and the Luy, you will discover charming landscapes, like ... the landscape of Barthes. 

Thus, you will enter these marshy zones where one finds a charming fauna and flora. Reeds, peat bogs, willow forests, alders and poplars, but you will also have the opportunity to see ponies, horses, oxen, storks or herons. 
 

The geological nature reserve 

Your visit will continue in the old limestone quarry, where there is now a Geological Nature Reserve of worldwide reputation and reference of geological times.

The site is presented in a form that lets us imagine a great mineral amphitheater with a sublime landscape.

It bears witness to what happened 71.6 million years ago in these ancient sea beds, where a multitude of animal and plant remains, such as dinosaur vertebrae, were deposited. 

In the heart of this site, we can meet a large number of plant species but also animal species to protect as amphibians, forest birds but also raptors of cliffs. 

Finally, the majestic site is also home to Caesar's Wall, a wall full of myths and legends. This wall represents a cliff of approximately 30 meters and which overhangs the Adour.
