An abandoned and dilapidated goshawk, which the knowledgeable handymen of the City Council have rehabilitated. This one culminates on a hillock, the fifth explanatory site described during the walk. Signs briefly tell the life of the Landes forest. The one of the ditches evokes swamps, the road to Compostela, shepherds, sanitation... The cork oaks are an excuse to learn about their economic role in Vieux-Boucau. Further on, the walker learns about the gluttony of the maritime pine swallowing its 45 tons per day for a wooded hectare. The fourth stop, in a clearing, reminds us of the damage caused by Klaus. The circuit climbs up to the pigeon house and the explanations of this traditional hunting. A gentle descent to the gemmage station, where several pots of resin explain the techniques used to harvest the precious @text JM Flipo

In the north of the village, in the quarter of Maâ, the old typical houses worth the visit. La Chapelle Saint Laurent de Maâ situated at the end of the street fetches from the XIIth century and was a famous stop for the pilgrims on the way of Saint Jacques de Compostelle. This chapel can be visited each monday in July and August.

Every village has its own original, its own madman, its own local eccentric, whose particularity is to spice up the life of the community. From the 1920s onwards, Léon was home to a curious character: Loys Labèque. A vagabond with anarchistic tendencies, an adventurer with a mystical streak, he was also touched by the Christian faith and wrote mysterious poems for the average person. Originally from Léon, he was to rest there until the end of his days, in 1941, at the Villa Agnoutine. For some inhabitants, the memory of this strange man haunting the streets remains, "yellow panama, glasses and black lavaliere, false collar and celluloid cuffs of unforgettable dimensions".

Under heavy surveillance from mid-March to mid-October, the Landes forest is dotted with watchtowers. About forty metres high, these metal behemoths are the guarantors of safety against fire outbreaks. Until 2004, seasonal workers were responsible for this surveillance, which has often proved its effectiveness. But the sudden death of one of them, probably due to lightning, changed all that, and since then the towers have been equipped with surveillance cameras. Supported by a system called Prodalis, which won the 2010 ENSOSP innovation prize, their sharp eyes have since replaced the human eye in this constant battle against the flames.
