Capbreton: the town

Capbreton is located in the Landes in New Aquitaine. It is a small French town where the Capbretonnais live. It divides the vast plateaus of the Landes from the Pyrenean areas. It is currently home to many sites that attract the eyes of the world such as the Golf de Gasgogne, which is located offshore. It is also in this municipality that one can find one of the most important ports of the Atlantic. It specifies the Landes, because it is the only marina in the department which offers a direct opening to the sea.
The natural gouf of Capbreton is also one of its essentials. It is even the most amazing of the town. It is an underwater throat of 2100 m extending over 150 kilometers. For sailors, it is a place of safety, because the ocean is calmer there for reasons that remain unexplained by science. Witness to several tectonic plate movements, this pit allowed France to escape the Iberian Peninsula.
