Between sunshine, Landes traditions and preserved landscapes, Saint Michel Escalus perfectly combines authenticity and the desire for fresh air. An ideal destination for holidaymakers looking for nature shoots, it enjoys an ideal location near the ocean and the Courant d'Huchet Nature Reserve.
In the heart of the moors, in the Marensin country, Saint Michel Escalus impresses by the great variety of its landscapes. Covered two-thirds of the way through fragrant pine forests, this small village with 300 souls is both attractive and captivating. To discover all its faces, put on your sneakers and/or climb on your bike for a sporty visit in the great outdoors. To see? The 13th century fortified church of Saint-Michel, but also the church of Saint-Pierre d'Escalus (18th century) and its square bell tower, the Moulin de Galope, the Saint-Pierre well and the Saint-Antoine spring constitute the main part of the town's historical heritage. The latter is in fact the local star: reputed to treat skin ailments, it has been attracting for centuries many visitors envious to enjoy the benefits of its water. Along its narrow streets, you will discover all the beauty of Landes architecture; with its half-timbered houses, fountains, mills, airials and old half-timbered sheepfolds, it is impossible not to succumb to its charm.
In addition to being the perfect place to hike, Saint Michel Escalus also offers its visitors a wide range of activities to (re)discover. How would you like to learn about quad biking in his forests? A game of escape-game fun? Unless you are more tempted by a canoe trip on the side of La Palue, considered by some to be one of the most beautiful descents in the Landes? Saint Michel Escalus is also located a few steps from the Etang de Léon: with a surface area of over 340 hectares, it is one of the largest lakes in the moors. In the heart of a particularly bucolic setting, this little paradise of tranquility has two beaches perfect for bubbling in the sun. Very appreciated by sportsmen, it allows the practice of many nautical activities from canoeing to stand-up paddle, via pedal boat, optimist, kayak, dinghy, surfing or sailing. In addition to bathing with family or friends, several playgrounds as well as bicycle paths and hiking trails will occupy your days under the sun of the Côte d'Argent. The Voie Verte and the forest trails of the lake will offer you the possibility to reach the beaches of Vielle-Saint-Girons, Contis-Plage or Moliets in just a few minutes, so that you can enjoy the joys of the ocean: swimming, diving, horse riding, surfing, paragliding, kitesurfing and dinner with your feet in the sand will complete your stay.
