Mimizan, Administrative commune in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France
Mimizan extends across two distinct sectors: Mimizan-Bourg as the administrative center and Mimizan-Plage along the Atlantic coastline, connected by the Courant de Mimizan river.
The area reveals Neolithic settlements of hunter-fisher societies, followed by proto-Celtic tribes during the Iron Age and later Roman development of trade routes.
The medieval bell tower of Mimizan, recognized by UNESCO, stands as a marker on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage path through southwestern France.
The town hall provides essential services from Monday to Friday, processing civil documentation, urban planning permits, and identification cards for the 7,321 residents.
The Château Woolsack, constructed in 1911, received notable guests including Winston Churchill and Coco Chanel during its years as a private residence.
