The starting point of the Flower Walk is Mimizan’s south beach. Walkers can admire the sand dunes rising like ramparts facing the Atlantic Ocean.
\nFrom the fine sand to the pine forest, the trail continues through a rich, colourful array of flora with a wide variety of species. The same goes for the wildlife, with an incredible variety of birds.
\nThe pines give way to cork oaks, trees typical of the regions of southern France. A waterfall and a small pond complete this natural setting, offering visitors a unique landscape and ecosystem.
\nThe vast, lush forests border a marshland area, a natural haven for a multitude of plant and animal species. Turtles, frogs, dragonflies and aquatic plants: a long list of species just waiting to be discovered.
\nThe walk then leads into Mimizan and its town centre, where you can discover and enjoy the local gastronomy.<\/p>\n
