Arènes

In the south of the Landes, in the village of Baigts, the tradition of the landaise race goes back to the 19th century. At that time, the access to the village square was closed by carts and the brave youngsters would dodge the onslaught of the cows. In 1911, the town council decided to build boxes and a stand, adjacent to the town hall, located on the town square. During the patronal celebrations of August 15th until 2004, the track was closed by removable wooden barriers. For safety reasons, they had to be removed and replaced by metal fences, but the stands remain natural: the spectators sit on the slope surrounding the square from the church, in the shade of the fir and chestnut trees.
