Huttopia Lac d'Aureilhan - Mimizan

The Les Landes region is known for its endless cycle paths that run through the forests and along the coast. From the campsite, you can easily cycle through the shady pine forests towards Mimizan or the charming village of Lit-et-Mixe. Along the way, you'll pass dunes, small lakes, and maybe even spot a few wild deer. The 'Circuit du lac et de la forêt' route lets you discover both the nature and the history of the area, with stops at old washhouses, church towers, and the Woolsack castle.

Around Lake Aureilhan, you'll find picturesque villages such as Aureilhan itself, Saint-Paul-en-Born, and Sainte-Eulalie-en-Born. Here you can experience the true atmosphere of Les Landes: narrow streets, charming squares, and lively markets with local products. Just ten kilometers away lies Mimizan, also known as the “Pearl of the Côte d’Argent”. Stroll along the boulevard of Mimizan-Plage, visit the local market, or enjoy foie gras, duck breast, and a glass of Gascogne wine on a sunny terrace — the flavors of the region.

Hiking enthusiasts can indulge themselves around Huttopia Lac d’Aureilhan. The Promenade Fleurie is a colorful eight-kilometer walking route that runs along the flower-lined shores of the lake. For a bit more adventure, you can walk a section of the historic coastal route of the pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela. From Mimizan, you follow the old path through dunes and forests to Lespecier beach, where you are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean.
