Tourisme
Sanguinet (Landes, France)
Sanguinet stretches along the north shore of the Étang de Cazaux et de Sanguinet, a large freshwater lake lined with beaches and pines. A calm, tourist-friendly village, it welcomes families and watersports enthusiasts in season. You can feel the influence of the nearby Landes forest, with shaded trails and maritime pine landscapes. The commune also serves as a starting point for exploring the Arcachon Basin and the Atlantic coast.
Nature and landscapes
The lake dominates the scenery: sandy shores, reedbeds and shallow waters offer varied atmospheres. Sunrises and sunsets over the Étang de Cazaux et de Sanguinet are well known, and the presence of wetlands favors migratory birdwatching. The surrounding pinewoods extend the sense of escape and invite walks.
Outdoor activities
Sanguinet is a playground for sailing, windsurfing, paddleboarding and kayaking; several nautical centers rent equipment. Fishing is practiced from the shores and piers. MTB trails and footpaths wind through the state forest, suitable for family strolls or sporty outings.
Heritage and village
The center retains a village atmosphere with some period buildings and the parish church visible from the lanes. The modest marina livens summer evenings. Sanguinet remains a place more focused on nature than on dense monumental heritage.
Gastronomy
Local cuisine reflects Landes and coastal products: fish and shellfish from the Basin, duck dishes and Gascon specialties like foie gras or apple desserts. Local markets allow tasting fresh produce and regional cheeses.
