Mimizan
Mimizan (and Mimizan Plage) is a seaside resort on the Atlantic coast of France, south of Arcachon and Biscarosse.
As with many of the resorts on this long stretch of coast, there is a long fine sandy beach ideal for surfing and sunbathing.
Behind the town there is also a large lake and several smaller lakes, also popular with visitors.
The beach and town are backed by the large forest of the Landes, which also offers lots of activities - walking, cycling, horse riding etc
The main highlight in Mimizan itself is the church - more specifically the belltower which forms part of the UNESCO Heritage Sites list, because of the town's previous role as a stopping point on the pilgrimage route to Santaigo di Compostella.
The town also has a small museum looking at the traditions and heritage of the region, if you can drag yourself away from the beach for a while.
