    • The Courant d'Huchet is a watercourse that joins Lake Léon to the ocean. The lake combines the waters of many small streams. This interlacing of streams forms a wetland where the vegetation is luxuriant. It is home to a multitude of local species of animals, birds, insects, tree species and plants. This natural space is also nicknamed the "Little Amazon of the Landes" for the richness of its fauna and flora. It is classified as a Nature Reserve. To visit it, you can go down the stream during an unusual ride on the Huchet stream.
