Located at the top of the beach of Les Ailes, this monument commemorates the crossing of the North Atlantic in 1929 by Assolant, Lefèvre and Loti. They arrived from Comillas, having crossed the ocean from west to east, from Old Orchard (USA) to Comillas. They landed by force in Mimizan on June 16, 1929 on board of "L'Oiseau Jaune" following a gasoline breakdown. The monument "forgets" Schreiber, a stowaway who boarded the plane and who also made the crossing. However, his name appears on the additional panels added on the 80th and 90th anniversaries.

In 1969, the contemporary church was built on the banks of the Courant to replace the communal chapel.

The church of the former Benedictine Priory of St. Mary formed the heart of a space called "sauveté". This "sauveté" was closely linked to the notion of the right of asylum. The lords of the day also granted rights and privileges to these salvaged persons, for example the right of wreckage: "whoever found a barrel could drink from it to satiation - whoever found a piece of cloth could carve a habit from it". The salvage area was delimited by boundary stones or pyramids Of the 9 "pyramids" that existed in the 19th century, there are currently more than 5, but their foundations, which were buried in sand (up to 2m) over the past centuries, were thus protected from total destruction. They have been classified as Historic Monument since 1941. The circuit of the pyramids is available at the museum of Mimizan
