La Teste-de-Buch, Coastal commune in Gironde, France

La Teste-de-Buch spans across 180 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, including maritime pine forests, beaches, and salt marshes along the Arcachon Bay.

The municipality transformed from a medieval resin production center to a modern tourist destination, with significant changes occurring through the late 20th century.

The commune maintains strong international connections through twinning relationships with Binghamton in New York, Schwaigern in Germany, and Chipiona in Spain.

Visitors can access numerous cycling paths throughout the commune, connecting major attractions and providing an efficient way to explore the natural surroundings.

The Dune du Pilat, situated within the commune's western section, stands as Europe's highest sand formation, offering views over the Atlantic Ocean.
