Dax, Thermal spa town in Landes, France

Located on the Adour River, Dax extends across 119 square kilometers in southwestern France, approximately 30 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean.

The Romans established Dax as Civitas Aquensium, and the town gained recognition after a visit from Julia, the daughter of Emperor Augustus.

The Cathedral of Notre-Dame Ste-Marie, Roman archaeological crypts, and ancient city walls represent the architectural heritage spanning multiple centuries.

The town conducts local markets every Saturday and Sunday, offering regional products and creating opportunities for direct interaction with local producers.

The thermal mud treatments of Dax, derived from the combination of natural spring water and river sediments, target specific medical conditions.
