Biscarrosse, Coastal administrative commune in Landes, France
The municipality extends between the Atlantic Ocean and two lakes, with pine forests occupying a significant portion of its 192 square kilometers territory.
During the early 20th century, Biscarrosse developed into a major seaplane base, with facilities that tested and launched aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean.
The municipality maintains a seaplane museum displaying original aircraft and documenting the technical developments of French aviation from 1930 to 1945.
The territory includes three distinct sectors: Biscarrosse-Plage near the ocean, Biscarrosse-Ville in the center, and Biscarrosse-Lac along the lakes.
The commune features two large freshwater lakes connected by a canal, creating a 90-kilometer-long waterway system used for navigation and water activities.
