Étang d'Aureilhan, Artificial pond in Landes, France

The Étang d'Aureilhan extends over 3.4 square kilometers with a maximum depth of 8 meters, connecting to nearby waterways through the Courant de Mimizan.

The construction of this artificial water body has modified the natural landscape of the Landes region, creating a substantial freshwater resource for the local population.

Local fishing traditions at Étang d'Aureilhan bring together multiple generations of residents who share techniques and locations for catching different fish species.

The lake features a 13.5-kilometer walking trail that circles the water, offering multiple access points for fishing and nature observation activities.

Advanced mapping technology enables anglers to track depth contours and temperature layers across the lake's 833 acres of surface water.
