Le Born, a Territory of Nature and Traditions

The Pays de Born is a preserved area of the Landes region that stretches between the large lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. Saint-Julien-en-Born, with its maritime pine forests and its proximity to the wild coast, perfectly embodies this territory of nature. The May 8th car boot sale contributes to the animation of this village where community life is particularly active. It is also an opportunity for visitors to discover the forest trails and cycle paths that crisscross the commune, in a natural setting of rare beauty.
