The Landes forest : part I

[Giri]

Other tours in the Landes :
- Le Barp-Tartas
- Tartas-Chalosse
- Sorde
- Peyrehorade

Some of you might wonder what the Landes forest is about. Is it a continuous forest ? What's the landscape like ? I'll make several threads about the Landes (not only the departement but the whole forest).



To begin with, a little variant of my weekly trip from my native Béarn to Bordeaux.
