Common Pyrenees-Atlantiques, in Aquitaine region Nova, Boucau sits on the edge of the Landes, in the heart of ancient Gascony. It is located a hundred kilometers from Pau, near the very tourist cities of Bayonne and Biarritz.

Based on an ancient territory, the common Boucau began to grow mainly in the second half of the sixteenth century thanks to the diversion of the Adour. Former property of the barony of Seignanx, she resurgent with the development of railway lines in the nineteenth century and the growth of seaside tourism.

Today, Boucau lives mainly coastal tourism, attracting visitors with the charm of its authenticity and its proximity to some of the most beautiful places of the Basque Country.

Things to see and do

Walking through the town, you can enjoy the traditional architecture of the houses, before admiring the Church of Our Lady of Good Help.

To enjoy sunny days, wood Guilhou is a must in the city. Farm until the nineteenth century, the site now covers nearly two hectares, and allows you to borrow a large number of marked hiking trails. The castle that once accompanied him was razed in the mid 1980s after being destroyed in a fire in 1932.

Be sure not to go to the port of Cale built in the first half of the eighteenth century or go relax in Pichepaou with its picnic area and games popular with children and their parents.
