Capbreton, son bourg, son village

To discover the history of the town of Capbreton, let yourself go along its narrow streets (1) also called "balènes", some of whose names are those of the sailors, masters and ship captains who lived here. Continue along the pedestrian street of Général-de-Gaulle (2) called "Grand'rue" and admire at numbers 48 and 56, the two medieval houses with corbelling and half-timbering called "Maisons des Anglais". Continuing your way, you will come across the charming tree-lined square "Yan dou Gouf" (3) (Jean Duboscq), poet and Gascon teacher.
Nearby is the media library "L'Écume des jours" in homage to Boris Vian who stayed in Capbreton in 1940 and met his wife Michelle there. Linger a little further on at the Maison de l'Oralité et du Patrimoine (4) located in the heart of the town.
